All Redwood City employers must provide their employees with accurate wage statements! (Cal. Labor Code § 226.) Additionally, Redwood City employers must provide their employees with a statement outlining how much accrued sick pay an employee has earned – this statement can be on the employee’s wage statement or another document. (Cal. Labor Code § 246.)
In Redwood City, and throughout California, employers must include the following information on an employee’s wage statement. (Cal. Labor Code § 226.)
