Explanation
For piece-rate employees, Labor Code §226 (with §226.2) requires the wage statement to show the number of piece-rate units earned and the applicable piece rate, and to separately state the compensation for rest and recovery periods and other nonproductive time along with the hours and rates for those categories. Profit margins, retail prices, and customer information are not required wage-statement items.
