What type of records must employers provide to employees about wages and hours?

Employers in California must provide records to employees about wages and hours that reflect the wages earned and the number of hours worked. The most common type of record is a pay stub, which is issued each pay period. This document must show the gross and net wages paid, any amount of withholding taxes, deductions, and/or other amounts previously withheld from the employee’s wages, and any additional wages or wages adjustments. In addition, employers must also keep and maintain accurate records of wages and hours worked for all employees. The records must include the employee’s name, address, occupation, rate of pay, hours worked per day and the number of days worked per week, any of the employee’s deductions for taxes or other purposes, any meal and lodging allowances, and any other information required by the California Labor Code. These records must be kept for at least three years and employers are required to provide an accurate and detailed statement of the employee’s wages and hours worked upon request. If an employer fails to provide these records, they may face civil penalties, back wages, and other legal action and remedy.
