Edit:
Thank you very much, that is the answer I was looking for.
I read the actual statutes as found here:
http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/di...0&file=200-243
Which states:
(b) An employer that is required by this code or any regulation
adopted pursuant to this code to keep the information required by
subdivision (a) shall afford current and former employees the right
to inspect or copy records pertaining to their employment, upon
reasonable request to the employer. The employer may take reasonable
steps to ensure the identity of a current or former employee. If the
employer provides copies of the records, the actual cost of
reproduction may be charged to the current or former employee.
(c) An employer who receives a written or oral request to inspect
or copy records pursuant to subdivision (b) pertaining to a current
or former employee shall comply with the request as soon as
practicable, but no later than 21 calendar days from the date of the
request. A violation of this subdivision is an infraction.
Impossibility of performance, not caused by or a result of a
violation of law, shall be an affirmative defense for an employer in
any action alleging a violation of this subdivision. An employer may
designate the person to whom a request under this subdivision will be
made.
(f) A failure by an employer to permit a current or former
employee to inspect or copy records within the time set forth in
subdivision (c) entitles the current or former employee or the Labor
Commissioner to recover a seven-hundred-fifty-dollar ($750) penalty
from the employer.
I assumed that since it was a government website it would be more than reliable but I was confused after finding section 1198.5

They both are very similar. All I want is a copy of my payroll times. Section 226 specifically says "records" and 1198.5 says "personnel records".
I understand its hard to give me a direct answer since no one knows the specific details of my situation, so I think I'll just wait the 30 days just to be safe.
