SB355

Judgment debtor employers: Employment Development Department.

Vetoed·10/13/25

California SB355 mandates employers to report final judgments to the Labor Commissioner and face penalties if non-compliant.

California SB355 requires employers facing final judgments to report to the Labor Commissioner within 60 days. Failure to comply results in a $2,500 civil penalty. If the employer does not satisfy the judgment or post a bond within 90 days of notice, the Labor Commissioner forwards the case to the Employment Development Department as potential tax fraud. The bill adds Section 96.9 to the Labor Code.
