Stratton, which dealt with a $31,365 Labor Code section 98.2(a) attorney’s fees award to employee in a Labor Commissioner case were the unpaid wage/penalties award against former employer was about $6,000. The case had some interesting nuances about whether the case was unlimited or limited in nature, and its impact on the fee award.
