Wage Law

While we rarely recommend that clients take their claims to the Labor Commissioner unless their claims are very small and cannot be aggregated with those of other employees, we still review the DLSE Enforcement Manual on a regular basis. The manual, and the opinion letters it references, changes from time to time. The changes themselves, and reasons for the changes, can be found at the DLSE's website in pdf or MS Word format. Current opinion letters can be downloaded here. For a list of recently withdrawn opinion letters, click here. The most recent opinion letter was issued on July 6, 2006; it discussed electronic transmission of wage statements.
