Payroll Records Must Now Be Kept For Three (3) Years
Written By: Melissa C. Marsh, Esq., California Attorney, November 2011
"Keep, at a central location in the state or at the plants or establishments at which employees are employed, payroll records showing the hours worked daily by and the wages paid to, and the number of piece-rate units earned by and any applicable piece rate paid to, employees employed at the respective plants or establishments. These records shall be kept in accordance with rules established for this purpose by the commission, but in any case shall be kept on file for not less than two years."A.B. 469, the Wage Theft Protection Act of 2011, extends the record keeping requirements from two to three years. As of January 1, 2012, California employers will be required to retain employee payroll records for three years. The new law also prohibits employers from preventing employees from maintaining a personal record of hours worked, or piece-rate units earned.
