INTRODUCED BY   Senator De León

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2014

   An act to amend Section 2928 of the Labor Code, relating to
employees.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1402, as introduced, De León. Employees: wage deductions.
   Existing law prohibits a deduction from the wages of an employee,
on account of the employee coming late to work, in excess of the
proportionate wage that would have been earned during the time
actually lost, except for authorizing the deduction of 1/2-hour's
wage for a loss of time of less than 30 minutes.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 2928 of the Labor Code is amended to read:
   2928.  No deduction from the wages of an employee on account of
his  or her  coming late to work shall be made in excess of
the proportionate wage  which   that  would
have been earned during the time actually lost, but for a loss of
time less than  thirty   30  minutes, a
 half   one-half  hour's wage may be
deducted.
