Labor Code 558 - Making sure that there is compliance with wage and hour standards is one of the most fundamental parts of California's labor laws. It provides the Labor Commissioner with the authority to hold investigations and administrative penalties against employers for violations involving overtime pay, meal and rest break withholdings, and other labor laws. The penalties therein are considered on a per-employee basis and, as such, ensure very strong deterrents against forced labor practices. For workers affected by wage theft or unlawful working conditions, Labor Code 558 provides a path to seek accountability and fair compensation.
