Employment: employer contributions: employee withholdings: credit: agricultural employees.

Summary

The bill lets California farm employers claim a credit against their quarterly payroll‑tax deposits that matches the overtime wages they pay workers covered by Wage Order 14‑2001. The credit cannot be larger than the employee withholding amount the employer would have sent to the Employment Development Department for that quarter. It is intended to help offset reduced overtime earnings for farmworkers amid industry economic strain.
