Directions for Use
This verdict form is based on CACI No. 2700, Nonpayment of Wages - Essential
Factual Elements.
The special verdict forms in this section are intended only as models. They may
need to be modified depending on the facts of the case.
If there are multiple causes of action, users may wish to combine the individual
forms into one form. If different damages are recoverable on different causes of
action, replace the damages tables in all of the verdict forms with CACI No. VF-

This verdict form may be augmented for the jury to make any factual findings that
are required for the court to calculate the amount of prejudgment interest due for
nonpayment of wages. (Lab. Code, § 218.6.)
