Employment: wages.
Summary
Existing law authorizes specified employees working in the entertainment industry and their employers to enter into a collective bargaining agreement to establish a time limit for payment of wages after an employee is discharged or laid off. Existing law imposes civil penalties on an employer who willfully fails to pay wages, in accordance with specified provisions, for an employee who is discharged or who quits. Existing law authorizes civil action for those penalties. This bill would apply the civil penalty and suit provision to the violation of a time limit for payment of wages established pursuant to that collective bargaining agreement provision.
