What are the implications of the California Labor Code on public policy when it comes to paying employees for their work?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Finnegan v. Schrader, 110 Cal.Rptr.2d 552, 91 Cal.App.4th 572 (Cal. App. 2001):

Various provisions of the Labor Code do evince a strong public policy of ensuring employees are paid fully and promptly for their efforts. (See Phillips v. Gemini Moving Specialists (1998) 63 Cal.App.4th 563, 574.) We do not believe that these provisions were intended to ratify illegal employment contracts or to immunize a public official from liability for a conflict of interest. The disgorgement remedy adopted by the trial court was appropriate.
