In Noori v. Countrywide Payroll & HR Solutions, the Court stated that an employee asserted a viable claim for a violation of Labor Code §226(a)(8) where his wage statements from his employer bore only an abbreviation of a fictitious business name as opposed to his employer’s name.  The Court noted that while sometimes a fictitious business name is permitted, and sometimes an abbreviation may be accepted, the abbreviation of a fictitious business name made it hard to determine the employer. It was unclear and not sufficient and the employee was entitled to bring the claim.
