Explicación
Labor Code §226(b) entitles a current or former employee to inspect or copy payroll records relating to their own hours and pay, and §226(c) gives the employer 21 calendar days, with a $750 penalty under §226(f) for failure. (c) is the most tempting refusal, and it is wrong on the face of the statute: the right belongs to former employees as well, which is exactly when most requests arrive. (a) misuses the cost provision - the employer may charge the actual cost of reproduction, which is cents per page, not a deterrent fee. (b) conditions a statutory right on a waiver, which Labor Code §219 does not permit. Personnel records under §1198.5 run on a separate 30-day clock.
