The OC Register had this to report on recent happenings at Interplay:<blockquote>Herve Caen, the chief executive of cash-strapped Interplay Entertainment Corp., faced a handful of upset employees Monday in a series of meetings mediated by the state's labor agency.
Interplay is under investigation for not paying employees since April. More than 20 employees have filed reports with the state's Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, which is conducting an audit of Interplay's payroll records.
No ruling was made Monday, but one is near, said Dean Fryer, a spokesman for the California Labor Commissioner.
Caen could not be reached for comment. He had told the state last week that he didn't have access to the payroll records because the data was stored in computers that were put in storage after Interplay was forced to vacate its building on June 15.
Fryer said Caen knew for a week prior that the state was after those records. "Our investigators are working with him to gain access to the documents," Fryer said.</blockquote>Gain access? Taking snow-shovels and digging through the storage? I find it very hard to believe that Caen will get away with this "sorry, I don't have access to these documents" for much longer. Let's hope they'll make a quick ruling.
