GCVCC Opposes AB 1003 (Gonzalez) Wage theft

April 22, 2021

News from the GCVCC Business Legislative Advocacy Committee

AB 1003 OPPOSE.  AB 1003 would make the intentional theft of wages in an amount greater than $950, in aggregate, by an employer from one or more employees, punishable as grand theft.

AB 1003 would subject employers of all sizes, including individual owners, to criminal liability/jail time for good faith wage disputes totaling $950.00 or more, even when the employer is simply following the advice of the state Labor Commissioner. This broad criminalization of a failure to pay wages is overly vindictive and likely violates Article I, Section 10 of the California Constitution that prohibits criminal liability for failure to pay a debt without intent to commit fraud.

Full Letter:

AB 1003 Oppose Gonzales
