Summary

The bill would require any employer that a court orders to pay an employee or the state to provide proof of payment, a posted bond, or a compliant installment plan within 60 days. Failure to do so could trigger a $2,500 civil fine and allow the Labor Commissioner to report the unpaid judgment to the Employment Development Department as possible tax fraud. It is intended to strengthen enforcement of wage and tax obligations.
