Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004.

Under existing law, the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, any provision providing for a civil penalty to be assessed and collected by the Labor and Workforce Development Agency or any of its departments, divisions, commissions, boards, agencies, or employees, for a violation of certain provisions affecting employees, may, as an alternative, be recovered through a civil action brought by an aggrieved employee on behalf of himself or herself and other current or former employees pursuant to specified procedures. The act provides that for certain provisions of law the employer has the right to cure a violation before a civil action may be brought, as specified. For provisions of law that this right to cure does not apply, the aggrieved employee must follow other specified procedures before an action may be brought. Existing law requires an employer to provide its employees with specified information regarding their wages either semimonthly or at the time of each wage payment. This law is one of a set of provisions a violation of which the employer does not have the right to cure before a violation may be brought under the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004. This bill would allow an employer to cure a violation of the wage statement law described above before an action may be brought under the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004. The bill would also delete obsolete provisions of law.
