The DLSE has issued 47 citations for a grand total of $356,200 to car wash businesses in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The citations stemmed from a two-day enforcement sweep in which DLSE investigators visited 72 car washes in those counties and found violations that included employing minors without proper work permits, not providing itemized wage statements to employees, failing to have workers’ compensation insurance, and not having the required car wash registration on file with the labor commissioner.
