If an employer pays any wages or fringe benefits with a check, draft or voucher that is dishonored within 30 days of receipt by the employee, those wages or fringe benefits will continue as a penalty from the due date, at the rate in effect when payment was due, until paid or an action is commenced. The penalties shall not continue beyond 30 days. This penalty will not apply if an employer can satisfy the Labor Commissioner or court that the violation was unintentional (CLC Section 203.1).
