Additionally, the lawsuit alleges the company violated the Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA"), which means they may face civil penalties for their violations as well.

Details of the Case: Latisha Shaconna Anderson v. Barton Myers Associates, Inc.
In California Labor Code Section 226 it states that employers are required to furnish employees with accurate itemized wage statements (in writing showing). An itemized accurate wage statement must show an employee’s gross wages earned, their total hours worked during the pay period, the number of piece-rate units earned during the pay period and any applicable piece-rate, all deductions from the employee’s pay, all net wages earned, specific dates designating the time period for which the employee is receiving pay, the name of the employee and the last four digits of the employee’s social security number or employee identification number, the name and address of the employer (the legal entity), and all applicable hourly rates in effect during the pay period with the corresponding total number of hours worked at each designated hourly rate. Allegedly, Barton & Associates, Inc. failed to fulfill this requirement of employment law. Plaintiffs claim they did not provide their employees with accurate itemized wage statements in compliance with all the requirements of California Labor Code Section 226.
