Legal Question in Employment Law in California
settlements
once a cases is over and one is required to payout, if thier are multiple people in the suit how are the fund divided? I know that a portion is given to pay legal fees, then the money will cover the origional cause(2weeks vacation pay and 2 month pay for not allowing 60 day notice) but what happens once these thing are covered and there is still money left over?

Re: settlements
It'll depend on orders from the judge and/or jury.
Some money can be used to pay interest on the judgment; some can be used to pay legal fees. It all depends.
