Giải thích
Labor Code §206.5 prohibits an employer from requiring an employee to sign a release of wages as a condition of being paid wages that are concededly due (undisputed). Such coerced releases are void. The employer must pay the undisputed wages without strings; genuinely disputed amounts can be litigated or settled separately, but they cannot be leveraged to extract a release of admitted wages.
