Under section 98.2(b) of California’s Labor Code, if an employer wants to appeal a Labor Commissioner’s decision to the superior court, which would hear the appeal from the beginning, the employer should post a bond.
The case of Adanna Car Wash Corporation v. Gomez arose when a former employee filed a wage claim against Adanna Car Wash Corporation.
The Labor Commissioner ordered Adanna to pay its ex-worker overtime earnings, meal period premium pay, rest period premium pay, liquidated damages, interest, and waiting time penalties in the amount of $23,915.59. Adanna appealed.
