The California Supreme Court sided with a Beverly Hills hair model Monday in a unanimous opinion holding that the California Labor Code governing "discharged" employees also applies to short-term workers. The case, a class action filed on behalf of Amanza Smith and similarly situated hair models, has ramifications for day laborers throughout the state. Defendant L'Oreal USA had argued that Smith didn't have to be paid immediately for the one day of work she did for a hair show.

The California Supreme Court sided with a Beverly Hills hair model in a unanimous opinion Monday that simultaneously reversed L.A.’s 2nd District Court of Appeal and bolstered the rights of day laborers throughout the state.
At issue was whether the state’s Labor Code governing “discharged” employees, i.e., those who had been “affirmatively dismissed” through termination or layoffs, also applied to workers hired for a select period of time.
