EmpleoPregunta 950 de 1605
A wage statement lists only 'total pay' as a single lump sum with no breakdown of hours, rates, or the overtime premium. Why is this problematic?
a.It is fine as long as the net amount is correct
b.It fails Labor Code §226's requirement to itemize hours, rates, and each category so the employee can verify pay
c.Lump-sum stubs are preferred by the DLSE
d.It is only a problem for salaried workers
Explicación
Labor Code §226 requires wage statements to itemize gross wages, total hours (for non-exempt workers), all hourly rates and hours at each rate, all deductions, net wages, and other specified items, so the employee can independently confirm they were paid correctly. A single lump sum defeats that purpose and violates §226 even if the net happens to be right. This is especially important where overtime premiums must be shown separately.
