Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I am a hourly employ, but my pay stubs say �Salary� then the amount they paid me. The pay stub has columns labeled �Hours� and �Rate� so there is room to write it on there. I asked my employer if they could tell me the hours I am getting paid for they said that the payroll company they use does not do that. What information does my employer have to put on m y pay stub by law?

California law requires that employers provide hourly employees with itemized statements that include, 1) gross wages earned; 2) total hours worked by the employee; 3) all deductions; 4) the net wages earned; 5) the inclusive dates for which the employee is being paid; 6) the name of the employee and his or her last 4 digits of their social security number; the name and address of the employer; and 7) all applicable hourly rates in effect during the pay period.

If your employer is not providing you with all of the above, they are not complying with the law.

If you contend you are not being paid in full, or are not being provided an accurate accounting of your pay, you could file a claim with the Labor Commissioner.
