I’m sure you’re familiar with the slogan, Got Milk? Well, unlike milk, employee records and the California Labor Code can cause a real hangover for you and your business.
For instance, California law generally requires that an employer keep an employee’s records for no less than 2 years. (Cal. Labor Code §§ 1174 and 1174.5)
Likewise, failing to accurately record an employee’s wages on his or her paycheck stub also violates California law in most instances. (Cal. Labor Code § 226)
What does this mean to you? Substantial liability. Failing to keep employee records can result in a $500 penalty and is a misdemeanor. Failing to accurately record an employee's wages can be worse, with penalties of $50 for the first violation and $100 for each subsequent violation, which keeps adding up from there.
Each situation can be different so please contact me for further clarification as it relates to you and your circumstance.
