  • California: The California Supreme Court holds that there is a good faith defense to the statutory penalties under  Lab. Code, § 226(e)(1)for failure to comply with wage statement information requirements. The court found that the defendant employer did not knowingly and intentionally fail to comply with the wage statement information requirements in Cal. Lab. Code, § 226(a) by not including unpaid meal premiums in its employees’ wage statements because the employer reasonably and in good faith believed that its wage statements were complete and accurate in compliance with the statute. See Naranjo v. Spectrum Sec. Servs., Inc., 2024 Cal. LEXIS 2438 (May 6, 2024).
  • New Jersey: The New Jersey Supreme Court holds that a non-disparagement clause in a settlement agreement that seeks to conceal details relating to a claim of discrimination, retaliation, or harassment, violates the state Law Against Discrimination and is against public policy and unenforceable.
