Is Your Business in Compliance ? The following checklist for employers is a starting point to find out if your business is legally in compliance to help avoid a lawsuit or a complaint through the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). A group of local businesspeople who founded North Bay Trusted Business Advice have developed a helpful 25-question compliance survey; the questions below are taken from the survey. “The questionnaire is a great way to make an employer start thinking about what they are doing and should do,” says attorney Samantha Pungprakearti. • Do you review and update your paystub format annually to meet California Labor Code requirements? • Are you tracking break violations and paying the required premium when a break is missed, late or short? • Are you reimbursing work-related cell phone, internet and home office expenses? • If you use time rounding, is the policy neutral and legally defensible? • Do you automatically include all accrued unused vacation pay in final wages? • Do you have a designated person or system to open and escalate certified legal or PAGA-related notices immediately? • Are your benefits regularly reviewed to match your company’s culture, growth goals and recruitment needs?
