AMANZA SMITH v. THE SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY Part II
Labor Code Secs. 201--providing that if an employer "discharges" an employee, wages earned and unpaid at the time of discharge are due and payable immediately--and 203--under which an employer's willful failure to pay wages to a discharged employee in accordance with Sec. 201 subjects the employer to penalties--are not limited to the situation in which an employee is terminated from an ongoing employment relationship but also apply when an employer releases an employee after completion of the specific job assignment or time duration for which the employee was hired.
