Wal-Mart will pay $1.6 mln to settle claims over incomplete paystubs

Wal-Mart Stores Inc has agreed to pay $1.6 million to workers in California who claimed the retail giant violated a state law requiring employers to include their full legal name on paystubs, lawyers for the plaintiffs said.

In a proposed settlement filed in federal court in San Francisco on Thursday, lawyers from Mayall Hurley said Wal-Mart would pay the money to about 110,000 people who received wage statements that simply said “Wal-Mart,” omitting the full name of the corporate entity that paid them.
