CALIFORNIA LABOR COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE

Bureau Of Field Enforcement (BOFE) Unit

Report of Labor Law Violation

The Report of Labor Law Violation filing is designed to report labor violations affecting a group of employees. Labor code § 90.5 (b) requires that the Labor Commissioner’s Office identify priorities for investigation to be undertaken in industries, occupations and areas in which employees are relatively low paid and unskilled and occupations and there has been a history of violations.

Consequently, not all Report of Labor Law Violation are assigned for investigation. Inspections are commonly targeted in industries or areas where employees are subject to violations involving minimum wage, overtime requirements, child labor, unreported wages and or Workers Compensation Violations that affect a large group of employees. The Bureau of Field Enforcement does not pursue individual claims.

The reporting party is normally contacted only if there is a need for additional information. No updates on the investigation will be provided.
