Walmart\u00a0has\u00a0just agreed to pay\u00a0$35\u00a0million<\/a> to resolve\u00a0wage\u00a0statement\u00a0claims\u00a0to a\u00a0group\u00a0of store employees. A class action lawsuit that was filed nearly four years ago\u00a0in California alleged\u00a0that Walmart failed\u00a0to provide accurate written wage statementsas required by California law.\u00a0Even though Walmart denies any wrongdoing, they have come to an agreement to pay $35 million to\u00a0resolve the potential claims\u00a0of\u00a0approximately 265,000 current and former employees.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California State Law requires employers to furnish accuratepaystubs to its workers. The original complaint claimed that even though Walmart provided electronic wage statements it never gave its employees an option to elect paper wage statements. Foregoing giving employees an option to receive a physical paystub in order to review their pay is in direct violation of California Labor Code 226. After lengthy discovery and mediation, the $35 million settlement was regarded as a success especially facing the uncertainties and challenges of future litigation. Each affected class member will be compensated based on the number of workweeks they worked during the class period. \u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides California, many\u00a0other\u00a0states, including New York, have laws\u00a0that require employers to provide accurate wage statements.\u00a0It is very important\u00a0to\u00a0make\u00a0sure you receive all the\u00a0proper\u00a0documentation from your employer\u00a0with regard to\u00a0wages. However, it is\u00a0not always clear what is required by law. If you feel like\u00a0you\u2019re not getting all the wage statements necessary to understand\u00a0the breakdown of how you\u2019re getting paid, such as\u00a0hourly rates, overtime, bonuses,\u00a0deductions\u00a0and taxes, you may not only be owed that information but compensation as well.
