   AB 2771, as introduced, Committee on Labor and Employment. Wage
statement: violations.
   Existing law requires an employer to furnish employees with
itemized wage statements containing specified information and to
maintain and permit inspection of records pertaining to the
statements. An employer who fails to do so is guilty of a crime.
   This bill would delete an erroneous cross-reference.
