We booked the 3 day 2 night cruise with Cat Ba Ventures. This was to be the most important part of our holiday and we wanted it to be perfect. We were not disappointed.
The staff in the office were extremely welcoming and thoroughly professional. Our boat was fabulous, made even more so by the amazing crew on board. Our...
I spent hours researching which outfit to use for our Cat Ba trip and we chose Cat Ba Ventures. We did the three day, two night option. It was the right amount of time. I wouldn't suggest you go shorter. There is a lot to see and do, especially if you want to hike on Cat Ba and not just...
We booked a 2 night 3 day private boat charter starting from Cat Ba and touring primarily around La Han Bay, where you get the same scenery as Ha Long Bay but without all the tourist boats and more beaches to stop at. We kayaked through caves, stopped at isolated rock islands and pristine beaches, snorkeled and swam. The crew...
My wife and I booked the 2 day 1 night tour with Cat Ba Ventures in Nov 2016 and we just loved every bit of it. Cat Ba Ventures was easy to deal with via email, they got back quickly (considering the time difference) and gave us plenty of details to make a decision. When we got there the staff...
We used Cat ba Ventures for all are booking on the Island. The Halong Bay cruise, the national park and hospital cave tour, and the private transportation from Hanoi airport to Cat Ba.
They are very professional. If they say pick up at 8am, then they are there at 8am. Their tours are well organized, and they seem to have...
I did their one day trip today and can honestly say it was amazing. We had a group size of 27 which was fine, still lots of room on the boat, visited a fishing village, swam in a beautiful location, had a great lunch cooked for us onboard (lots of varied vegetarian options), went kayaking through caves for 2 hours,...
We opted for the 2 day 1 night tour with Cat Ba Ventures. Overall it was really lovely - keeping to quiet areas of Lan Ha and Halong Bay, plenty of kayaking into stunning lagoons and swimming. We also bought fish for dinner from a local fishing boat which was a nice touch. The trip was extremely well organised, the...
This trip was really one of the best in my live. We stayed for a 2 day-one Night journey in this wonderful area. The booking we did via email and Mr. Tung was very supportive and had answered all our questions directly. He explained us exactly how to travel from Hanoi to Cat Ba. And it worked. This was crucial...
We chose Cat Ba Ventures to book a private boat for 3 days and 2 nights of relaxation and reflection after 17 days traveling through Viet Nam. We were fortunate to be assigned the Dolphin and a great crew. Given the smaller size of the Dolphin, it is able to navigate to areas that the big boats with their hoards...
We used Cat Ba Ventures to book a day cruise to Lan Ha Bay & Halong Bay. It was a great trip - 30 people were on the trip which was a good number not to many but they did mention it has a capacity of 50 people which I feel would be too many to be comfortable on the...

Down but not out..........
Hi guys,
When you take a big hit in a sit n go, and are left with a small chip stack early on, what is the strategy from there onwards.
For example a loose player whittles his way down to 1000 chip stack (1500 starting) in the first 10 hands or so, then goes on to bust your aces, leaving you with around 400, and 12 big blinds.
Should i carry on playing tight, looking for big hands because the blinds are still relatively small. Or am i looking for any double up i can get. Am i happy to take a 50-50 now?
When this happens to me, i find people will call to knock you out with quite marginal hands , because they are just not that bothered about losing 400. Say if you have vs villains , should i willingly take this spot??
It doesn't matter if the blinds are small. What matters is their size in relation to your stack. If, like you said, you are down to 12x the big blind, you should be ready to go in with hands that you don't normally go AI with, just because you no longer have the time to sit around to wait for the good ones. I'm not say go AI with 69o, but 12x is not a large amount. If you pushed with that 77 in late position, that seems like a good move to me because you can't do much else. If you raise 3 or 4x the big blind and get called you're almost pot-committed no matter what shows up on the flop. Stealing these paltry blinds might seem pointless, but it's something that must be done.
Pushing with that 77 UTG with 8 people to go after you could be questionable, however. Just like in your normal game where you raise only maybe QQ, KK, AA, and AK UTG, but widen it up as you become later in position, you will still want to keep the same concept in mind with your small stack. The less people you're pushing on, the less likely you are to run into a monster.
At this point, a coin flip is the best you can hope for (unless you catch a lucky hand), because no one is calling you with 92o, and the only way you're going to get back into the tournament is through a double-up.
I like your question, starky - it is a dilemma we all have at some point. Assuming I still have 12-15 BB I like to be patient and wait for that big hand to get my chips in. Like you say we are going to get more callers when shortstacked so we want to make sure we have a proper hand. To get in with a chance of winning/cashing we are going to need some luck (which usually means winning two coin flips just to get back to par) - I am happy to take the 77 against overcards, especially if there are some dead chips floating about.
One good tactic when our AA has just lost to rubbish is to open/raise shove the next hand if it is a premium. People will call light not just because they aren't worried about the smallish call (as you say) but because we are displaying classic tilt behavoir. But make sure you can turn over KK to their K9o...
usually i would play just as patiently but I'm coming to the conclusion that depending on table image it might be better to just push all in if you can get HU. As long as they aren't ak or pp'ed or card dead you would seem to be getting close to the right pot odds no matter what. I think about doing this was 69 or even 65 in middle position because you are likely to at least know you have live cards. I'm not saying go all in wanting a call, but maybe doing this twice to attempt to steal blinds knowing you still have decent outs.
Im new here but from my experience, with a csi of 8(12bb) and far from the money just use the guides, given in "kill everyone" in Appendix 1. These are Equilibrium pushes and have served me well. Please not these push reference is if its folded to you in x-spot. Example: 5 off button with no ante, ant it folds to you, you fold 77 vs pushing 4 off button with 77, if their is an ante(usually later in the game-tho) 5 off button is a push, while 6 off is a fold. If you dont have the money, for the book just go to book store and study the appendix, your get the idea of correct push ranges 3 to 8 csi (csi = m, depending on your perfered author)
re: Poker & Down but not out..........
I usually wait to have 10 blinds or less before i go into playing loose, anyway 10 or 12 not much difference, but at that stage i would expand my range of hands and try to get back on the game. Ofcourse as mention before don't do anything stupid like 72o but try to get hand that my be life and run with it.

ADAN RIVERA, ET AL.,PLAINTIFFS,v.NEFTALI RIVERA, D/B/A NR CONSTRUCTION,DEFENDANT.
Marco Mata, Jose Mendoza, Jose Bocanegra, Daniel Arzate, and Ariel Maya (collectively "Plaintiffs"), filed a motion for entry of default judgment on February 15, 2011 after the Clerk of 20 the Court entered default as to Defendant Neftali Rivera, doing business as NR Construction ("Defendant"). This motion was originally before the Honorable Paul S. Grewal, and was 22 subsequently transferred to the undersigned on March 31, 2011. The Court held a hearing on this 23 motion on April 21, 2011. For the reasons set forth below, Plaintiff's motion is GRANTED in part 24 and DENIED in part.
Plaintiffs Adan Rivera, Reyes Barajas, Ignacio Morales, Juan Mendez, Luis Mendez, Rafael Mendez, Manuel Chavez, Manuel Valladolid, Guillermo Avila, Victor Vivanco, Enedino Castro,
Plaintiffs are sixteen residents of various locations throughout the Bay Area, including
Santa Clara and Alameda Counties. See Compl. 1. All Plaintiffs worked for NR Construction, a 28 construction company doing business throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and specifically in the cities of San Jose and Milpitas, at some point during the four years prior to the filing of this 2 action. Id. at 3. During the course of Plaintiffs' employment with Defendant, Plaintiffs were paid 3 on an hourly basis, and regularly worked in excess of 8 hours per day and more than 40 hours per 4 week. Id. at 4. Plaintiffs were variously told that they would be paid hourly, and told at other 5 times that they would be paid on a contract basis. Plaintiffs did not have management or 6 administrative functions, and performance of their job duties did not require the exercise of 7 independent discretion and judgment. Id. Plaintiffs did not maintain any professional licenses with 8 the state or practice any recognized profession. Id. All Plaintiffs allege that they were not paid 9 their earned wages for numerous hours worked between September 2009 and November 2009, 10 while other Plaintiffs allege they were not paid for additional work as well. Id. at 4-5.
Additionally, Plaintiffs allege that they were not properly compensated for overtime work. Id. at 7-9. Finally, Plaintiffs allege that Defendant did not provide lawfully required rest/meal periods and 13 wage statements. Id. at 9-10, 12.
Practices, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200; and common law breach of contract. On April 28, 2010, Plaintiff served Defendant with a Summons and Complaint. See Dkt. No. 5. The Clerk of 18 the Court entered default against Defendant on June 30, 2010. See Dkt. No. 7. Now pending 19 before the Court is Plaintiffs' motion for entry of default judgment against Defendant under Dkt. No. 16. Plaintiffs request an award of $135,640.05 in damages. In the motion for default 22 judgment, however, Plaintiffs do not pursue the § 17200 claim.
Plaintiffs seek relief under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), 29 U.S.C. § 216; California Labor Code, Cal. Lab. Code §§ 200, 226, 226.7, 1194; California Unfair Business Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b)(2). See Pls.' Mot. for Default Judgment ("Pls.' Mot.") at 1,

Civ. P. 55(b)(2). "A failure to make a timely answer to a properly served complaint will justify the 28 entry of a default judgment." Benny v. Pipes, 799 F.2d 489, 492 (9th Cir. 1986). "The general rule of law is that upon default the factual allegations of the complaint, except those relating to the 2 amount of damages, will be taken as true." TeleVideo Sys., Inc. v.

B.Claims for Damages
Where an employer fails to maintain accurate payroll records, an employee carries his reasonable inference." Anderson v. Mt. Clemens Pottery Co., 328 U.S. 680, 687 (1946), 2 superseded by statute on other ground,Portal-to-Portal Act, 61 Stat. 86-87; see also Brock v. Seto, 790 F.2d 1446, 1448 (9th Cir. 1986); McLaughlin v. Seto, 850 F.2d 586, 589 (9th Cir. 1988). "The 4 burden then shifts to the employer to come forward with evidence of the precise amount of work 5 performed, or with evidence to negate the reasonableness of the inference to be drawn from the 6 employee's evidence." Mt. Clemens Pottery, 328 U.S. at 687-88. If the employer fails to produce 7 such evidence, the court may then award damages to the employee. Id. at 688. Moreover, the 8 award of back wages is not barred for being "too speculative" if the employer failed to keep 9 records as required by FLSA. Seto, 790 F.2d at 1448.
California courts have shifted the burden of proof to employers reasoning that "applying the normal burden of proof in such circumstances would unfairly penalize an employee for the employer's failure to keep proper records and would allow the employer to keep the benefits of the 13 employee's labors without paying full compensation." Amaral v. Cintas Corp. No. 2, 163 Cal. 14 App. 4th 1157, 1189 (Cal. App. 1st. 2008). Therefore, "[u]nless the employer can provide accurate 15 estimates [of hours worked], it is the duty of the trier of facts to draw whatever reasonable 16 inferences can be drawn from the employees' evidence."

existence of a contract; (2) performance by the plaintiff; (3) a breach by the defendant; and (4) 23 damages. See Careau & Co. v. Sec. Pac. Bus. Credit, Inc., 222 Cal. App. 3d 1371, 1399 (1990). 24
Plaintiffs state that in September 2009, each Plaintiff was employed by NR Construction.
Here, the Clerk has entered default against the Defendant. All facts pled by Plaintiffs will
1.Breach of Contract -- Failure to Pay Agreed Upon Wages
Under California law, to prevail on a breach of contract claim, a plaintiff must show: (1) the
Here, Plaintiffs have alleged facts sufficient to establish breach of contract.
See Declarations of Sixteen Plaintiffs ("Pls.' Decl.") at ¶¶ 5-6, attached to Pls.' Mot. Each Plaintiff 27 entered into an oral agreement with the Defendant, agreeing to furnish labor under an agreed upon 28 hourly wage creating a valid contract. Compl. 4, ¶ 15. Moreover, from September 2009 to November 2009, Plaintiffs, on behalf of the Defendant, worked on two separate apartment projects, 2 one in Milpitas, California and the other in San Jose, California. Pls.' Mot. at 4 (citing 3 declarations). Plaintiffs worked on the sites and performed various jobs involving the installation 4 of drywall. Id. Despite performing their work, Plaintiffs allege that they were not paid their agreed 5 upon wages for the time periods articulated in each declaration. Pls.' Decl. ¶¶ 6-8. Plaintiffs' 6 allegations are sufficient to establish a contract, performance, and breach. 7
8 their declarations. Plaintiffs' documents were only necessary because the Defendant did not 9 maintain any records pertaining to hours or wages, and did not provide any form of wage 10 statements. Id. at ¶ 7. Because the Defendant did not maintain any records, the Court will draw 11 reasonable inferences from records submitted by Plaintiffs.
Decl. of Adan Rivera, ¶¶ 10-11; Juan Mendez, ¶¶ 10-12; and Jose Mendoza, ¶ 9. These records 15 documented that each Plaintiff had worked a certain number of hours, and that Plaintiffs were not 16 paid for that work. See Decl. of Adan Rivera, Exh. 1; Juan Mendez, Exh. 1; and Jose Mendoza,
Exh. 1. Each record showed a handwritten sheet of hours worked on each day for each employee.
Id. Additionally, Adan Rivera, the foreman during the time in question, attached a document 19 showing the date of the last payment each Plaintiff received from the Defendant. See Decl. of 20
In light of Defendant employer's failure to maintain records of the Plaintiffs' contracts and failure to provide any wage time sheets, the Court is limited to relying upon the evidence provided 23 by Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs' records, supported by sworn declarations, establish the last date of 24 payment, the amount of hours worked by each employee, the pay rate, and the amount of unpaid 25 wages due. See Ulin v. Alaea-72, Inc., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 17468, *38 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 23, 26
2011) (although "very few records were kept," awarding "necessarily approximated" damages for 27 failure to pay wages). The Court will rely on certain charts provided by Plaintiffs in summarizing 28 the wages due. See Decl. of Adam Pedersen , Exh. 1; Pls.' Mot. 10, 27.
Lastly, Plaintiffs supported their request for damages with several documents attached to Most of the hours recorded were submitted by Plaintiffs Adan Rivera, Juan Mendez, and Jose Mendoza, each of whom acted as a foreman or "team leader" on the dry wall projects. See
Adan Rivera, Exh. 3. 21
Therefore, from the attached sworn declarations, each Plaintiff's
unpaid hours worked were
combined and multiplied by that Plaintiff's specific pay rate.
Furthermore, additional amounts 3 were awarded to specified Plaintiffs
for wages that were earned prior to the period of September
2009 to November 2009, and were not subsequently paid. See Decl. of
Adan Rivera, ¶ 9; Ariel 5
Maya, ¶¶ 10-12. This leads to the following award: 6

Aug./Sept. 2009)
2.Failure to Pay Minimum Wage (Cal. Labor Code § 1194)
California Labor Code Section 1194 provides that "any employee receiving less than the legal minimum wage . . . is entitled to recover in a civil action the unpaid balance of the full amount of this minimum wage . . . including interest thereon, reasonable attorney's fees, and costs of suit." See Cal. Labor Code § 1194.*fn1 Section 1194.2 entitles such employees to recover liquated damages "in the amount equal to the wages unlawfully unpaid and interest thereon." See Cal. 2 Labor Code §1194.2. 3
On the record and briefing before the Court, Plaintiffs have not established that they are
4 entitled to liquidated damages on top of the damages awarded under a breach of contract cause of 5 action. The fact that Plaintiffs were not paid any wages for certain hours worked does technically 6 constitute payment of a lesser amount than the required minimum wage; however, Plaintiffs have 7 been awarded the wages that were earned under the breach of contract claim. Moreover, the earned 8 wages are actually in excess of the current minimum wage of $6.75 per hour. See 8 C.C.R. 9
§11000(2). Plaintiffs have not pointed to any authority supporting their entitlement to recover both 10 liquidated damages and contractual damages for unpaid wages. Compare Armenta v. Osmose, Inc.,
135 Cal. App. 4th 314, 317-18 (2d Dist. 2005) (where plaintiffs abandoned their claim to recover for uncompensated time at their contractual hourly wage, and instead sought liquidated minimum 13 wages under Section 1194.2, but did not seek or obtain both types of damages). 14
In these circumstances, therefore, Plaintiffs' claim for liquidated damages under California
Labor Code Section 1194.2 is DENIED. 16
3.Failure to Pay Overtime (Cal. Labor Code § 1194)
California Labor Code Section 1194(a) states that "any employee receiving less than . . . the legal overtime compensation applicable to the employee is entitled to recover in a civil action the 19 unpaid balance of the full amount of this . . . overtime compensation, including interest thereon, 20 reasonable attorney's fees, and costs of suit." See Cal. Labor Code § 1194. "Any work in excess 21 of eight hours in one workday and any work in excess of 40 hours in any one workweek must be 22 compensated at the rate of no less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for an 23 employee." See Cal. Labor Code § 510(a). 24
Here, nearly every Plaintiff provides a declaration stating that he worked overtime two times per week on average. See Pls.' Decl. ¶¶ 12-16. Plaintiffs state that a normal work week 26 constituted working eight hours a day from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for five days a week. Id. 27
However, on about two days a week, Plaintiffs were required to work until about 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. 28
Id. Moreover, Plaintiffs state that such overtime hours were not recorded. Id. In fact, Plaintiffs allege that they were instructed by Defendant not to write down these overtime hours, and on 2 limited occasions such hours were recorded, Defendant would "shave these hours off at the time of 3 payroll accounting." See Pls.' Mot. at 16; Decl. of Jose Mendoza, ¶¶ 17-18. Since Defendant kept 4 no records of overtime, the Court is left to draw reasonable inferences from Plaintiffs' evidence. 5
The only evidence before the Court is sworn declarations by Plaintiffs stating that they worked one and a half to two and a half hours of overtime about two times a week. See Pls.' Decl. 7 ¶¶ 12-16. However, as stated above, the Court will not penalize Plaintiffs for being imprecise or 8 approximate in their evidence since this was solely caused by the Defendant's failure to adequately 9 maintain records. See Ulin, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 17468, *38 (approximating overtime damages 10 where very few records were kept). The burden is on the Defendant to bring forth record evidence, and since Defendant has failed to appear in this litigation, Plaintiffs' evidence stands unrefuted.
The Court can reasonably infer that each Plaintiff worked at least three hours of overtime a week.
each Plaintiff (1.5 times the standard pay rate) and multiplies that rate by the number of unpaid 15 overtime hours. This leads to the following award:
Adan Rivera $30.00 18 $540.00 Ignacio Morales $21.00 9 $189.00 19
Luis Mendez $21.00 18 $378.00 21
Manuel Valladolid $21.00 6 $126.00 23
Daniel Arzate $15.00 9 $135.00 25
Jose Mendoza $30.00 30 $900.00 Ariel Maya $22.50 3 $67.50 27
To calculate overtime wages due, the Court first looks to the overtime compensation rate of
Name Overtime Unpaid Overtime Overtime Due
Pay Rate Hours
Juan Mendez $22.50 24 $540.00 20
Rafael Mendez $21.00 21 $441.00 Manuel Chavez $21.00 21 $441.00 22
Enedino Castro $30.00 39 $1,170.00 Jose Bocanegra $21.00 15 $315.00 24
Marco Maya $22.50 18 $405.00 26
.Willful Failure to Pay Overtime (Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 216(b))
3 for Defendant's willful failure to pay overtime. Under FLSA, "[a]ny employer who violates the 4 provisions of section 206 or section 207 of this title shall be liable to the employee or employees 5 affected in the amount of their unpaid minimum wages, or their unpaid overtime compensation, as 6 the case may be, and in an additional equal amount as liquidated damages." 29 U.S.C. § 216(b) 7
Plaintiff seeks an award of liquidated damages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
(emphasis added). Section 207 prohibits any employer from employing any of his employees for a 8 workweek longer than forty hours unless such employee receives compensation for those hours at a 9 rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate at which he is employed. 29 U.S.C. § 207(a)(1).
Section 216(b) clearly mandates that when overtime is not properly provided to employees, liquidated damages must be additionally awarded to such employees in the amount equal to the 13 amount already owed. 29 U.S.C. § 216(b). Section 260, however, makes liquidated damages 14 discretionary where the employer proves that the failure to pay overtime was both in good faith and 15 based upon such reasonable grounds that it would be unfair to impose liquidated damages upon the 16 employer. 29 U.S.C. § 260. "Under 29 U.S.C. § 260, the employer has the burden of establishing 17 subjective and objective good faith in its violation of the FLSA." See Local 246 Utility Workers 18
Union of America v. Southern California Edison Co., 83 F.3d 292, 297-298 (9th Cir. 1996). 19
20 reasons for noncompliance. As indicated above, Plaintiffs have provided written declarations that 21 adequately describe the amount of overtime worked. See generally Pls.' Decl. ¶¶ 12-16. 22
Moreover, as the Court has already awarded unpaid overtime wages, Plaintiffs are also entitled to 23 liquidated damages in the same amount. See Seminiano v. Xyris Enter., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 24 4298, *10 (C.D. Cal. Jan. 18, 2011) (finding that plaintiffs were owed liquidated damages under FLSA in the amount equal to plaintiffs' unpaid overtime wages). 26
was awarded under California Labor Code Section 1194. This leads to the following award: 28

Adan Rivera $30.00 18 $540.00 4

Ariel Maya $22.50 3 $67.50 12
5.Failure to Provide Meal Period Claims (Cal. Labor Code § 226.7)
California Labor Code Section 226.7 provides that "[n]o employer shall require any employee to work during any meal or rest period . . . ." Cal. Labor Code § 226.7(a). An employer 16 is required to provide employees with a meal period of not less than 30 minutes if the employee is 17 employed for more than five hours per day. Cal. Labor Code § 512. "If an employer fails to 18 provide an employee a meal period or rest period . . . the employer shall pay the employee one 19 additional hour of pay at the employee's regular rate of compensation for each work day that the 20 meal or rest period is not provided." Cal. Labor Code § 226.7(b). 21
Here, nearly every Plaintiff provides a sworn declaration that states that they were denied an uninterrupted thirty minute meal break two times per week on average. See Pls.' Decl. ¶¶ 13-23
16. Defendant has not appeared, and thus has not refuted Plaintiffs' evidence. See Ulin, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 17468, *44-46 (despite no records being kept, awarding damages for failure to 25 provide meal periods based on plaintiff's unrefuted testimony). Therefore, the Court will apply the 26 standard pay rate of each Plaintiff and multiply it by the number of meal periods not provided. 27
This leads to the following award: 28
Adan Rivera $20.00 12 $240.00 3
Luis Mendez $14.00 12 $168.00 5
Manuel Valladolid $14.00 4 $56.00 7
Enedino Castro $20.00 26 $520.00 Jose Bocanegra $14.00 10 $140.00 8
Marco Maya $15.00 12 $180.00 10
Jose Mendoza $20.00 20 $400.00
Ariel Maya $15.00 2 $30.00 11
without abatement or reduction, . . . any wages of an employee who is discharged or who quits, the 16 wages of the employee shall continue as a penalty from the due date thereof at the same rate until 17 paid or until an action therefor is commenced; but the wages shall not continue for more than 30 18 days." Cal. Lab. Code § 203(a). Upon discharge, the employees' earned and unpaid wages are due 19 within 72 hours. Cal. Lab. Code § 201(a). 20
21 employment, but also when it releases the employee upon completion of particular job assignment 22 or time duration for which he or she was hired. See Smith v. Superior Court, 39 Cal. 4th 77, 92 23
(2006). Additionally, the meaning of "willful" under Section 203 "is that an employer has 24 intentionally failed or refused to perform an act which was required to be done." See Amaral, 163 25
Cal. App. 4th at 1201. "The employer's refusal to pay need not be based on a deliberate evil 26 purpose to defraud workmen of wages which the employer knows to be due." Id. Pursuant to 8 27
Section 203 occurs when an employer intentionally fails to pay wages to an employee when those
Name Pay Rate Meal Periods Not Mealtime Pay Due
Ignacio Morales $14.00 6 $84.00 Juan Mendez $15.00 16 $240.00 4
Rafael Mendez $14.00 14 $196.00 Manuel Chavez $14.00 14 $196.00 6
Daniel Arzate $10.00 6 $60.00 9
6.Willful Failure to Pay Plaintiffs All Wages Due Upon Termination (Cal. Labor Code § 200(a))
California Labor Code Section 203 provides that "[i]f an employer willfully fails to pay,
An employer effectuates a "discharge" not only when it fires an employee from ongoing
Cal. Code. Reg. § 13520: "A willful failure to pay wages within the meaning of Labor Code wages are due. However, a good faith dispute that any wages are due will preclude imposition of 2 waiting time penalties under Section 203. A 'good faith dispute' that any wages are due occurs 3 when an employer presents a defense, based in law or fact which, if successful, would preclude any 4 recovery on the part of the employee." 5
Here, according to the evidence provided, Plaintiffs were not paid certain earned wages at
6 all, let alone within 72 hours of discharge as required by California statute. Defendant has not 7 provided any justification for noncompliance or raised a "good faith dispute" that wages are due to 8
Plaintiffs. Thus, the Court must find in favor of Plaintiffs. Because the statutory maximum of 30 9 days has clearly elapsed, the maximum amount afforded by Section 203 is appropriate. See Seminiano, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 4298, *10 (awarding damages for continuing wages pursuant to Section 203).
multiply it by the statutory maximum of 30 days. This leads to the following award: 14
Ignacio Morales $112.00 30 $3,360.00 17
Luis Mendez $112.00 30 $3,360.00 Rafael Mendez $112.00 30 $3,360.00 19
Manuel Valladolid $112.00 30 $3,360.00 Enedino Castro $160.00 30 $4,800.00 21
Daniel Arzate $80.00 30 $2,400.00 23
Ariel Maya $120.00 30 $3,600.00 25
Therefore, the Court will apply the pay rate of each Plaintiff for a standard work day and
Name Pay per 8-hour 30 Day Statutory Amount Due Under Cal.
Day Maximum Labor Code § 203
Adan Rivera $160.00 30 $4,800.00 16
Juan Mendez $120.00 30 $3,600.00 18
Manuel Chavez $112.00 30 $3,360.00 20
Jose Bocanegra $112.00 30 $3,360.00 22
Marco Maya $120.00 30 $3,600.00 Jose Mendoza $160.00 30 $4,800.00 24
employees ... an accurate itemized statement in writing showing (1) gross wages earned, (2) total 3 hours worked by the employee. . . ." Cal. Lab. Code § 226(a). Under subsection (e) of the same 4 provision: "[a]n employee suffering injury as a result of a knowing and intentional failure by an 5 employer to comply with [section 226(a)] is entitled to recover the greater of all actual damages or 6 fifty dollars ($50) for the initial pay period in which a violation occurs and one hundred dollars 7
($100) per employee for each violation in a subsequent pay period, not exceeding an aggregate 8 penalty of four thousand dollars ($4,000) . . . ." Cal. Lab. Code § 226(e). 9
Under Section 226(a), the employee suffers an "injury" when an employer fails to provide
an employee with accurate, itemized wage statements. See Kisliuk v. ADT Sec. Services, Inc., 263 11
F.R.D. 544, 548-49 (C.D. Cal. 2008) ("'actual injury may consist of impairment or diminution . . . 12 of a right,' such as Plaintiff's right to receive an itemized pay statement."). Plaintiffs' unrefuted 13 evidence sufficiently establishes injury for purposes of Section 226(a). The statute also requires a 14
"knowing and intentional failure" to furnish the wage statements. Cal. Lab. Code § 226(e). Here, 15
Defendant failed to provide any statements or pay stubs as required by law, failed to keep a 16 complete record of hours worked and wage statements, and instructed employees not to keep or 17 write down overtime hours. See Pls. Decl. ¶¶ 12-16. Courts in similar situations have found that 18 such conduct constitutes a knowing and willful violation of Section 226. See Perez v. Safety-Kleen 19
Sys., 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 48308, *24-25 (N.D. Cal. June 27, 2007) (defendant's failure to 20 provide accurate wage statements is a knowing and intentional violation under Section 226, and is 21 not excused by defendant's alleged ignorance of requirement to record wage statements); see also 22
Ulin v. Lovell's Antique Gallery, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99153, *55-56 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 22, 2010) 23
(defendants' failure to provide any wage statements for a three-year period is by itself a knowing 24 and willful violation of Section 226). Defendant, not having appeared, presents no argument or 25 evidence to the contrary. The Court finds that Defendant's failure to keep and provide records of 26 wage statements and instructions to employees not to keep their own records provide sufficient 27 grounds to establish a knowing and willful violation. 28
7.Failure to Provide Wage Statements (Cal. Labor Code § 226(a))
California Labor Code § 226(a) mandates that an employer "furnish each of his or her
The statute permits the employee to recover the greater of all the actual damages or the statutory damages. Cal. Lab. Code § 226(e). As actual damages stemming from the injury cannot 3 be specifically ascertained, the Court will award statutory damages. The Court will apply the 4 statutory rate of $50.00 for the first pay period, and $100.00 for each subsequent pay period. This 5 leads to the following award: 6 7
Name Work Weeks Statutory Damages without Wage under Cal. Labor Code
Statements § 226(a)
Adan Rivera 6 $550.00
Ignacio Morales 3 $250.00
Juan Mendez 8 $750.00
Luis Mendez 6 $550.00
Rafael Mendez 7 $650.00
Manuel Chavez 7 $650.00
Manuel Valladolid 2 $150.00 Enedino Castro 13 $1250.00
Jose Bocanegra 5 $450.00
Daniel Arzate 3 $250.00 Marco Maya 6 $550.00
Jose Mendoza 10 $950.00
Ariel Maya 1 $50.00
As explained above, Plaintiffs' motion for entry of default judgment [dkt. #16] is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. Collectively, Plaintiffs are entitled to the following 4 amounts:
Unpaid California FLSA Mealtime Unpaid Statutory Wages Overtime Liquidated Pay Wages upon Damages for Damages Termination Failure to
Provide Wage
$48,349.05 $5,647.50 $5,647.50 $2,510.00 $47,760.00 $7,050.00 8

A new Tasmanian Government initiative will make it easier for small businesses to take on an apprentice or trainee. Small businesses are vital to Tasmania's economy, comprising 96% of business in Tasmania. These businesses require support to continue to grow and improve their productivity.
$600,000 will be allocated to the Supporting Small Business with Apprenticeships and Traineeships Program over two years. Through this program more small business will gain the benefit of apprentices and trainees who can contribute to the growth of their business and are suited to their workplace needs. And just as importantly, young people will be provided with a career pathway. The program will be designed in a way that meets the needs of small business. Consultation will address the concerns and issues small businesses have about employing an apprentice or trainee; what they need help with to take the first step of employing an apprentice or trainee and what ongoing support they need to make this arrangement successful.
Phase 1
The first phase of this project that will commence in June will involve wide consultation with small business and other key stakeholders, including group training organisations, to co-design an innovative program to support small businesses to employ a trainee or apprentice. The consultation phase of this project will commence in June and continue into July.
This co-designed program will be based on small business needs identified through consultation that could include for example, assisting small business to select the right apprenticeship or traineeship for their business; recruiting the right person and managing their workplace training.
Phase 2
Once the program has been designed the second phase of the project will involve a pilot program focused on a particular industry or region. At this stage jobseekers who have completed the Work Readiness for Growth Industries Program will have the opportunity to link with small businesses for possible employment as an apprentice or trainee
Phase 2 will be evaluated and lessons learned from the pilot program will be incorporated in project design for the next phase of the project.
Phase 3
The project will be expanded to other industry or geographical areas and be offered throughout 2017 and the first half of 2018.
For further information about this project please contact Susan Bayly-Stark on 03 6165 6034 or email@example.com
The Work Readiness for Growth Industries Program is a new competitive grants program aimed at ensuring Tasmanian employers have access to the skills they need to drive future growth in our economy. The Program will run over two years and has been allocated $900,000 in funding.
Guidelines are now available with the initial grant round to be launched on 15 August 2016.
The Skills Fund program provides subsidised training via a range of options to suit the needs of industry and individuals. It includes: the Demand led Program, which provides subsidised training to Existing workers and Jobseekers; the Career Start Program, which offers subsidised places for full qualifications up to Certificate III level; and the Bridging and Foundation Skills Program, which provides additional training in the areas of foundation learning or work preparation.
The User Choice program is an annual program that provides training subsidies to Skills Tasmania endorsed registered training providers to help cover the cost of providing training and assessment services for nationally recognised qualifications to Tasmanian apprentices and trainees. The 2016 User Choice grants program is now open for eligible RTOs to apply. Eligible RTOs who wish to apply for a 2016 User Choice agreement can find the application, guidelines and supporting documentation here.
Registration as a Skills Tasmania Endorsed RTO is the gateway for an RTO's eligibility to apply for Skills Tasmania programs for the delivery of government subsidised training in Tasmania. RTOs who wish to deliver Tasmanian Government funded training must apply to be endorsed before applying for any of the programs managed by Skills Tasmania and before entering into a Skills Tasmania Agreement.
A Skills Tasmania Agreement will be issued only to Skills Tasmania Endorsed RTOs.
All providers with students funded by Skills Tasmania, under certain training programs, must submit data, otherwise referred to as AVETMISS. Laurel, a purpose built application that manages funding agreements and processes RTO payments for the delivery of such training, aims to streamline business processes so that claims for payment are integrated with mandatory data reporting.
For the Adult Literacy and Equity Small Grants programs successful applicants will receive a Deed of Grant, which takes the place of a Skills Tasmania Funding Agreement. As well as being a contract that the applicant has with Skills Tasmania the Deed also outlines reporting arrangements required of the applicant.

What I did was combine all the files into a another folder, remake a few icons, fix the info.plist and BAM so sexy :3 NOTE: The fourth screenshot I took after the other three, so the Play/Pause button is the default. I changed it because I thought the theme's Pause looked kinda compressed :/ I included the theme's play and pause icons but if you want to change it, go to: Hybrid.theme/Folder/MediaPlayer.framework and delete the play and pause icons.

Thank you Raji for the beautiful bowls and other gifts too :) I couldn't wait to click using them so chose a recipe today to suit these bowls ;)
Beetroot Pulao Recipe - Ingredients
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Basmati Rice - 1 cup
Beetroot - 3/4 cup finely chopped
Green Peas - 1/4 cup
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Big onion - 1 small sized finely chopped
Garam Masala Powder - 1/2 tsp
Channa Masala Powder - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Water - 1 and 1/2 cups
Coriander leaves - 1 tsp finely chopped
Salt - to taste
To temper:Oil - 2 tsp
Ghee - 1/2 tbsp
Cinnamon - 1/2 inch stick
Cloves - 2
Cardamom - 1
To grind to a coarse paste:Small Onion - 5
Green Chilli - 1
- Take a mixer and grind small onion and green chili to a coarse paste.I used 5 small onions which was big so halved them.Chop beets into small cubes, remove peas from shell rinse the veggies and keep aside.
- In a pressure cooker heat oil + ghee - add cinaamon,cloves and cardamom, let it splutter then add ginger garlic paste , onion chilli paste.Fry till raw smell leaves.Saute in low flame for atleast 3mins.
- Then add chopped onion and fry till it turns transparent.Then add chana masala powder, garam masala powder and turmeric powder.Fry the masala well for 5mins.
- Then add beetroot and peas and saute in low flame for 2mins.Add required salt.I soaked rice for 30mins.
- Drain water and add the rice and give a quick saute till the masalas are nicely coated with the rice.Then add water.
- Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles.Once pressure releases fluff the rice and garnish with coriander leaves.
My Notes:
- Soaking rice helps in cooking faster and gives a nice fluffy texture.
- You can even cook this pulao in pan, but adjust water accordingly.It may require atleast 2.5 cups of water.
- Take care to add the spice powders only after the raw smell of onion garlic leaves.
- This rice is very mild and less spicy.You can play with spice as you prefer.It depends on the sweetness of the beets.
- Adding chana masala powder gives a extra flavour, but if you don't have it just go ahead only with garam masala powder.You can replace chana masala powder with pav bhaji masala powder.
