California plaintiffs’ lawyers typically bring every type of wage-hour claim they can. Increasingly, however, they have focused on one type of claim – wage statement violations.

Given the flurry of litigation, it is beneficial for employers that do business in California to review their wage statements to best ensure compliance.
