(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home5/californ/california-labor-law-attorney.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114As of January 1st, 2012 all employers have been required to comply with the California new wage theft protection act, Labor Code Section 2810.5<\/a>. . Theft protection act sets out to clearly define how, when, and what employees shall be paid. The idea is to alleviate any confusion or misunderstandings about the type of employment and benefits the employee will receive. Effective immediately all California employers, regardless of company size and industry, are required to give the following information to all of their employees regardless of full time part time or seasonal status:<\/p>\n 1. Classification: exempt, non-exempt, commission, piece rate. In other words, how the employee will be paid; hourly, salary, commission only, days wage, piece rate. It\u2019s important to note that if the employer is claiming the employee is exempt from overtime they must also cite the exemption that they feel the employee falls under. Moving forward, Employers must give written notice to all newly hired employees as well. Also, if any of the information above changes, the employer has 7 days to furnish notice of change in writing to the employee, California Labor Code \u00a7226<\/a>. Notice need not be provided to non-exempt employees who are both covered by a collective bargaining agreement and who earn at least 30% more than the California minimum wage per hour.<\/p>\n With new laws come new penalties; the Wage Theft Protection Act<\/a> adds or increases existing civil and criminal penalties, in some instances allowing liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees, and extends the applicable statute of limitation to three years.<\/p>\n Labor law is complex; if you have any questions regarding your employment it is recommended that you contact a California labor law attorney<\/a> who can help you understand your rights and in many cases will review your situation without charge.<\/p>\n If you have any questions about this article or our blog, feel free to call us at:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As of January 1st, 2012 all employers have been required to comply with the California new wage theft protection act, Labor […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[928],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-california-labor-law"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
