What do you think is meant by "where the employee was paid"? Where they received their paycheck? What if the check was direct deposit? I would think that almost anyone working outside California would receive their check outside California, unless it was direct deposited into an account in California. I'm curious for your take.

These were the Court's exact words:

Thus, the UCL might conceivably apply to plaintiffs’ claims if their wages were paid (or underpaid) in California, but the stipulated facts do not speak to the location of payment. The parties invite us to speculate about the place of payment as a basis for holding the UCL does, or does not, apply. We decline to do so.

I haven't thought about your question and don't have an opinion on it. The most salient point to be drawn from Sullivan is that the Supreme Court had no problem with the concept of a UCL "unlawful" prong claim predicated on FLSA violations, even if some of the work was performed outside California.
