Employee List Research Services
Tristar Investigation supports law firms by assembling employee data lists that help identify individuals connected to Class Action and PAGA cases. Our team is experienced in locating workers who can be difficult to track due to seasonal roles, short term employment, or high turnover environments across industries such as food service, agriculture, labor, and retail. The resulting lists include names and available contact information attorneys can use as they evaluate potential witnesses and plan next steps.
Using consistent research methods and dependable information sources, we develop organized spreadsheets that streamline internal case preparation. Whether firms are responding to discovery needs, preparing motions, or expanding their pool of potential contacts, these lists provide practical data that support strategic planning and future Witness Outreach.

Our Process for Employee List Research
Our process begins by defining the scope of your Class Action and PAGA cases, including the business involved, relevant time periods, locations, and job categories. Using these case details, we design a research plan to develop an employee data list in matters where no usable list is available.
We then conduct targeted research using consistent methods and dependable information sources to gather names and available contact details. Once the research is complete, the results are organized into clear, easy to use spreadsheets that support your team’s internal evaluation and preparation for future Witness Outreach.
Tristar Investigation has developed refined research protocols used by law firms across California. Our approach enables us to build employee data lists using parameters that help identify hard to find workers and surface available contact points.
Our research practices adhere to state, local, and federal privacy statutes along with other applicable regulations, ensuring your firm receives data compiled through compliant methods.
When the research is complete, we package the results into organized spreadsheets for your team. Lists include full names, current addresses, and available phone numbers and email addresses to support your internal review and downstream outreach efforts.

Our lists typically include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and other available contact points identified through our research methods. This information helps your team begin organizing case strategy and planning for future Witness Outreach.
How do you handle hard to identify employees?
We apply structured research methods and compliant information sources to gather available employee data, even in industries where records may be inconsistent due to high turnover or short-term roles.
Is the process confidential?
Yes. All employee information is handled discreetly and shared only with the requesting attorney or authorized legal team members in accordance with privacy requirements.
How quickly can you deliver an updated employee list?
Timelines depend on the scope of the case and the volume of data needed. Most projects begin promptly, and your firm receives updates as information is gathered and organized.
