In Fleming v. Dollar Tree Stores Inc., 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 67749 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 15, 2006), the court decided that the prompt payment of wages statute requires employees to be paid from an in-state bank, or without delay or cost if it is from an out-of-state bank.

A federal district court ruled that a California law that guarantees employees “prompt payment of wages” requires employers to pay its California employees paychecks drawn on an in-state bank or to make arrangements for employees to cash checks without incurring delays or costs.
