Legal Question in Employment Law in California
My former employee who was solely responsible for payroll is now suing me for unpaid wages. How can she sue if she was responsible for her own hours, the addition of her own hours, and the payment of her own hours?

More facts need to be known. What is she claiming? Is she claiming that the employer refused to pay overtime, breached meal/break laws, etc.? Call an employment law attorney to discuss. Many of us offer a free initial phone consultation.
The fact that she was "solely responsible" does not mean she has received all she is due.
On the other hand, anyone with a word processor and printer (or pen an paper) can pepare a complaint and sue.
Without seeing the claim and speaking with you, it is impossible to provide advice. Indeed, you do not want advice in a public forum, since it is not confidential.
I suspect you need to meet with an employment lawyer and obtain advice as to how to proceed.
