Giải thích
Labor Code §1171.5 declares that all protections of California employment law apply to all individuals regardless of immigration status. An undocumented worker can recover unpaid minimum wage, overtime, and other wage remedies through the DLSE or courts. Employers cannot use a worker's immigration status to escape wage obligations, and full California standards (not just the federal minimum) apply.
