Under California Wage and Hour Laws, the basic Wage and Hour rule is your employer must pay you for the work you do. Simple, but oftentimes not followed.
If your employer thinks you have done a bad job or haven't completed your work assignments, your employer's remedy is to fire you or discipline you - - not withhold your wages for doing your job poorly. There are a few narrow exceptions, where your employer can withhold your wages for specific reasons.
This general rule applies across the range of compensation which you may receive. Thus, your employer can not withhold or "cancel" vested vacation pay, bonuses, and pension or retirement benefits. Your employer can not charge you for losses which may occur in the business. Your employer can't charge you for uniforms.
A California employer that does not comply with these California Wage and Hour Laws is subject to repayment of the back wages or benefits. You can recover back wages for a period of up to four (4) years. You are also entitled to interest and penalties and your attorney fees.
Is vacation pay a wage? Can vacation pay be forfeited?
Can a California employee waive or release their rights to unpaid wages?
