California Court of Appeal

Petition for a writ of mandate in a class action against an employer for back wages and penalties is denied where the trial court properly sustained defendant's demurrer since, for purposes of an employer's liability, Labor Code section 226.7 describes a penalty to the employer and not wages due to an employee.
