Section 2679 Of Chapter 2. Registration From California Labor Code >> Division 2. >> Part 11. >> Chapter 2.
2679
. (a) The commissioner, in addition to any civil penalty
imposed pursuant to Section 2679, may require that as a condition of
continued registration, such employer deposit with him or her within
10 days a bond to ensure payment of wages and benefits in such sum
and form as the commissioner may deem sufficient and adequate in the
circumstances but not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000). The
bond shall be payable to the commissioner and shall provide that the
employer shall pay his or her employees in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2675. In lieu of the deposit of a bond, the
commissioner, in his or her discretion, may accept other evidence of
financial security sufficient to guarantee payment of wages to
affected employees.
(b) The commissioner, in addition to any civil penalty imposed,
shall require a bond as set forth in subdivision (a) upon any second
or subsequent violation within any two-year period. The commissioner
may revoke the registration of any person for any period ranging from
30 days to one year upon a third or subsequent violation within any
two-year period and may confiscate any garment or wearing apparel,
assembled or partially assembled, if the violation relates to minimum
wages, child labor, or maximum hours of labor. If the commissioner
does exercise the authority to confiscate upon such a third or
subsequent violation, the commissioner shall notify persons for whom
assembly is performed and shall provide for the return of such
garment owner's confiscated garments or wearing apparel upon such
assumption and satisfaction of liability for the violation.
