*750 This case presents the question of whether a plaintiff who brings a representative action under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA; Lab. Code, § 2698, et seq. ) may seek penalties not only for the Labor Code violation that affected him or her, but also for different violations that affected other employees. The trial court granted plaintiff Forrest Huff a new trial, reasoning that Huff's failure to prove he was personally affected by one of the multiple Labor Code violations alleged in his complaint did not preclude his action under PAGA. As we will explain, *751 we conclude that PAGA allows an "aggrieved employee"-a person affected by at least one Labor Code violation committed by an employer-to pursue penalties for all the Labor Code violations committed by that employer. We will therefore affirm the order granting a new trial.
