CA SB1364

Prohibits vendors from accepting payment over $1,000 from UC if they pay employees less than the total compensation rate specified in the vendor's contract or UC policy, whichever is higher.

Requires vendors to provide employees with written notice of their compensation rate, hourly pay, and employer-provided benefits at assignment and annually in January, plus within 7 days of any rate changes.

Mandates vendors submit basic payroll information (employee names, addresses, phone, email, work location, pay rates, benefits, and hours) to UC and labor representatives twice yearly in January and July.

Establishes civil remedies for violations including restitution of unpaid wages, civil penalties ranging from $100-$250 per employee per pay period, and mandatory 5-year vendor disqualification from UC contracts.

Allows employees or UC workers to file suit against vendors for violations after providing 30 days' notice and opportunity to cure, with prevailing claimants eligible for attorney's fees and costs.
