Smith v. Superior Court (L'Oreal USA, Inc.)

This is a good one. It's a clear rule that clarifies something that isn't facially obvious in the statute.
Individual hired for specific short term and for flat fee is not "discharged" within the meaning of Labor Code Sec. 201 when the specific term expires and is thus not entitled to be paid immediately" upon completion of the term nor to receive a "waiting time penalty" pursuant to Labor Code Sec. 203.
Duly noted. Petition DENIED. 2nd Dist. No. B176918.
