CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2017–2018 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill No. 1234


Introduced by Senator Vidak

February 15, 2018


An act to amend amend, repeal, and add Section 220 of the Labor Code, relating to employment.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 1234, as amended, Vidak. Employee wages: payment.
Existing law, with certain exceptions, requires that employers pay wages to their employees twice per calendar month on days designated in advance as regular paydays. A violation of that requirement is a crime. Existing law exempts the payment of wages of employees directly employed by the State of California from that requirement.
This bill would repeal that exemption, exemption as of January 1, 2020, thereby subjecting the payment of wages of employees directly employed by the State of California to the twice-per-month requirement. By changing the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: YES  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
