Wages: written statements.

Existing law requires an employer, semimonthly or at the time of payment of wages, to furnish an employee, an accurate, itemized, written statement containing specified information regarding the amounts earned, hours worked, and the employee's identity, among other things, subject to certain variations. This bill would authorize the required written statement, as described above, to be provided monthly. Existing law requires an employer to afford current and former employees the right to inspect or copy records pertaining to their employment upon reasonable request to the employer, as specified. Existing law requires an employer who receives a written or oral request to inspect or copy records pursuant to these provisions to comply with the request within 21 calendar days. This bill would extend the time for the employer to respond to 28 calendar days.
