The plaintiff contended that Dollar Tree failed to satisfy this last requirement because store employees paid by direct deposit could only access their wage statements through in-store cash registers and could not access them over the Internet, a limitation she claimed was particularly burdensome for employees who were away from work. Employees who receive electronic wage statements have “the ability to easily access the information and convert the electronic statements into hard copies at no expense to the employee.”.Safeguards are in place to protect the confidentiality of employees’ information and.The employer retains pay records for at least three years and employees retain access to them.

Instead, she alleged that store employees who elected to receive their wages by direct deposit-and who could only receive electronic wage statements-did not have easy enough access to those wage statements because they could only be accessed from store cash registers. Nor did she dispute that the paper wage statements accompanying Dollar Tree’s paychecks complied with California law. The plaintiff did not dispute that Dollar Tree’s wage statements included all of the information required by California Labor Code section 226(a), California’s wage statement statute. The case was pending in the Central District of California before Hon. in a class action filed against the company by former employee Francisca Guillen. On November 7, 2017, after a four-day trial, a federal jury in Los Angeles, California returned a verdict in favor of Dollar Tree Stores, Inc.
