INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Grove

   An act to amend Section 2699.5 of the Labor Code, relating to
employment.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 588, as introduced, Grove. Labor Code Private Attorneys General
Act of 2004.
   The Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 authorizes an
aggrieved employee to bring a civil action to recover specified
civil penalties, that would otherwise be assessed and collected by
the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, on behalf of the employee
and other current or former employees for the violation of certain
provisions affecting employees. The act provides the employer with
the right to cure certain violations before the employee may bring a
civil action, as specified. For other violations, the act requires
the employee to follow specified procedures before bringing an
action.
   Existing law requires an employer to provide its employees with
specified information regarding their wages either semimonthly or at
the time of each wage payment and provides that the employer does not
have the right to cure a violation of that requirement before an
employee may bring a civil action under the act.
   This bill would provide an employer with the right to cure a
violation of that wage statement law requirement before an employee
may bring a civil action under the act. The bill would also delete
obsolete provisions of law.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
