Findings by category

Itemized wage statements omit the inclusive dates of the pay period on 26 of 26 reviewed pay periods, and the legal entity name shown does not match the registered employer name. Both are standalone violations under Labor Code §226(a).

Recommended reasonable steps

  • Correct the pay statement template to include inclusive pay period start and end dates.
  • Update the employer legal name and address to match the registered entity.
  • Re-issue corrected statements for the current quarter and retain PDFs for four years.

Estimated exposure: $96,000
