This Law Firm Publication by Fisher & Phillips LLP discusses a Fresno County Superior Court Judge's recent issuance of a temporary restraining order in Nisei Farmers League v. California Labor and Workforce Development Agency. This decision extends the July 1, 2016 deadline for qualified employers to notify the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) of their election to participate in the safe harbor provision set out in Labor Code Section 226.2. Qualified employers who pay employees on a piece-rate basis now have until at least July 28, 2016 to notify the DIR of their election.
