Morgan

Appellant Amber Morgan (Morgan) filed a class action lawsuit against her former employer, respondent United Retail Incorporated (United Retail), for violation of Labor Code section 226. On behalf of a class of current and former nonexempt employees, Morgan alleged that United Retail’s wage statements failed to comply with section 226, subdivision (a) because they listed the total number of regular hours and the total number of overtime hours worked by the employee, but did not list the sum of the regular and overtime hours worked in a separate line. The trial court granted summary adjudication in favor of United Retail on the section 226 claim. We conclude that the trial court properly granted summary adjudication because United Retail’s wage statements complied with the statutory requirements of section 226 by “showing . . . total hours worked.” (§ 226, subd. (a)(2).) We accordingly affirm.
