WAGES – RELEASES ON WAGES DUE PROHIBITED

AB 2075, Labor Code 206.5

Current law prohibits an employer from requiring the execution of a release of a claim on wages due.

This new law defines "execution of release" to include requiring an employee to execute false statements of hours worked as a condition of being paid. This law also prohibits an employer from requiring an employee to sign a time sheet containing false statements as a condition to get paid.
