226.3
. Any employer who violates subdivision (a) of Section 226
shall be subject to a civil penalty in the amount of two hundred
fifty dollars ($250) per employee per violation in an initial
citation and one thousand dollars ($1,000) per employee for each
violation in a subsequent citation, for which the employer fails to
provide the employee a wage deduction statement or fails to keep the
records required in subdivision (a) of Section 226. The civil
penalties provided for in this section are in addition to any other
penalty provided by law. In enforcing this section, the Labor
Commissioner shall take into consideration whether the violation was
inadvertent, and in his or her discretion, may decide not to penalize
an employer for a first violation when that violation was due to a
clerical error or inadvertent mistake.
