The CA Labor Code requires FLCs and Garment Manufacturers to submit statements regarding unpaid wages to the Labor Commissioner whenever they apply for a new license, a license renewal, or wish to change key personnel.

These employers must also report, within 90 days, any final court judgment issued by the Commissioner or an accord imposing requirements relating to unpaid wages and submit it with a notice of security for unpaid wages.

COUNSEL TO MANAGEMENT:
The Labor Commissioner will deny any application if it shows unpaid wages, unless the applicant submits a bond or cash deposit to guarantee payment. Any employer who provides false information on these statements will be subject to fines and suspension of their license. Key personnel will also not be allowed if they owe any unpaid wages
