Jackson Lewis: California Cities and Counties Can Now Join the Effort to Enforce State and Local Wage Payment Laws | Practical Law
This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis, P.C. discusses California S.B. 1342, a new law allowing cities and counties to work with the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) to enforce wage payment laws. The law encourages cities and counties to develop a specific plan of action to combat wage theft. Local enforcement programs now have the authority to issue subpoenas and report noncompliance of local wage laws to the superior court of the county. S.B. 1342 will add Section 53060.4 to the Government Code.
