Employment: temporary service employee wages.

Existing law requires that an employee of a temporary services employer, as defined, be paid weekly. Existing law requires that an employee of a temporary services employer be paid at the end of the workday if the employee is assigned to a client of the temporary service employer, as defined, on a day-to-day basis or if the employee is assigned to a client engaged in a trade dispute. Existing law provides that these pay requirements do not apply to an employee of a temporary service employer who is assigned to a client for over 90 consecutive calendar days unless the temporary service employer pays the employee weekly. A violation of these provisions is punishable as a misdemeanor. This bill would provide that the pay requirements would not apply to an employee of a temporary service employer who is assigned to a client for over 91 consecutive calendar days unless the temporary service employer pays the employee weekly. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
