Which of the following is NOT a required item on a California itemized wage statement?
Explanation
Labor Code §226(a) lists what an itemized wage statement must show: gross wages earned, total hours worked, deductions, net wages, the inclusive dates of the pay period, applicable hourly rates, and the name and address of the legal entity that is the employer. Section 226(a)(7) is explicit that the statement carries only the last four digits of the social security number, or an employee identification number instead — which is why the full nine-digit number is the item that does not belong. The other three are required entries, not optional ones.
