Three adult care facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area have been caught violating wage and labor laws. California Labor Commissioner Julie Su ordered the businesses to pay their employees a total of $584,635.97 for theft of their due wages for time and attendance.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Su has already issued citations for more than $185 million in denied compensation in her first two years as Commissioner. In the case of the three adult care facilities, workers were not given appropriate minimum wage, overtime pay or meal breaks.

"Caregivers who serve our elderly and disabled perform some of the most important and valuable work in our state and often work long hours to do so," said Su. "Paying them for all of the hours they work is not only the fair thing to do, it is required by law."

Su's mission statement is to provide accurate pay for hard work in every business in California, as reported by the Times. Because of the overwhelming number of complaints in the state, she has chosen to focus her efforts on people who do hard-labor jobs like building houses, washing cars and picking crops. Su believes that the best way to help California is by making both workers and employers happy.
