Agreeing with Heinzman v. Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. (C.D. Cal. 2011) 2011 WL 12817699, this decision holds that Labor Code 226 does not require an employer to list on an employee’s ordinary pay stubs the amount of accrued vacation benefit earned during the pay period. While vacation pay is earned incrementally, it is paid only when the employee takes vacation time or when the employment is terminated. The pay stub only has to itemize wages paid, so it need not list the monetary value of accrued vacation benefits unless and until those benefits are paid on vacation or termination of employment.
