California Labor Code section 206.5(b) specifically prohibits employers from coercing employees into signing time cards that they know do not reflect the hours worked:
This section states as follows: "... For purposes of this section, [the void and unenforceable] "execution of a release" includes requiring an employee, as a condition of being paid, to execute a statement of the hours he or she worked during a pay period
which the employer knows to be false.
One of the most common examples of this violation is a situation in which the employer wishes to avoid paying overtime to his employees and orders that those employees who work overtime, clock out after 8 hours of work regardless of whether they work way pass the 8-hour day.
