• Establishes a 33-calendar-day cure period for employers to remedy alleged violations after receiving written notice from employees, with limits on how often employers can use this provision (maximum three times per 12 months for same violations, with stricter limits for wage statement violations).

• Appropriates $1,400,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Industrial Relations to establish nine new positions for reviewing and investigating private attorneys general cases.
