AB 2187 – Employment: Payment of Wages
 

Fresno Chamber Position: OPPOSE

AB 2187 would create a new crime subject to punishment in jail and monetary fines of a minimum of $1,000 up to $10,000 if an employer “willfully fails” to pay within 90 days all wages due to an employee who quits or is discharged. This new crime would be on top of existing civil penalties. This legislation could make into criminals employers with legitimate disputes over wage claims.
