Labor contractors.

Existing law requires an employer to furnish each employee with an accurate itemized statement showing, among other things, the name and address of the legal entity that is the employer. Existing law provides that a knowing and intentional violation of this provision is a misdemeanor. This bill would require an employer who is a farm labor contractor, as defined, to disclose in the itemized statement the name and address of the legal entity that secured the employer's services. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 226 of the Labor Code proposed by AB 469, that would become operative only if AB 469 and this bill are both enacted, both bills become effective on or before January 1, 2012, and this bill is enacted last. Because a willful violation of the bill's provisions would be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
