Many California wage-hour lawsuits include a claim that employees’ wage statements (pay stubs) fail to comply with the law. By way of reminder, each wage statement must contain:
- Gross wages earned;
- Number of hours worked (not required for exempt employees);
- Number of piece-rate units earned (if applicable);
- All deductions;
- Net wages earned;
- Inclusive wages of the period for which the employee is paid;
- Employee’s name;
- Last 4 digits of employee’s Social Security number or employee ID (NOTE: It is unlawful to include an employee’s entire SSN);
- Name and address of legal entity that is the employer;
- All applicable hourly pay rates in effect during the pay period and the number of hours worked at each rate; and
- Amount of Paid Sick Leave available to the employee.
Additionally, the Labor Code also requires the check be drawn on a bank with at least one branch in California, and the check must state the name and address of a business in California where the check can be cashed on demand without a discount
