Legal Question in Business Law in California

Employment/Estoppel

Hi, when I was offered a job at a big

electronics retail store, they promised

to pay me US$9.75. When I got my

first paycheck it showed that I was

being paid US$8.50 an hour. The

manager told me that they would fix

it and in my next paycheck it would

show the difference of the first

paycheck and I would get paid

US$9.75. On my next two paychecks

I still got paid US$8.50. Is this

considered an estoppel? What can I

do?

Re: Employment/Estoppel

This is why you should always get all job offers in writing. If you do have the offer in writing, write, do not call, the company HR department. If this does not work contact the State Labor Commissioner, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
