Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I work for a large hotel chain, and I started working in the night laundry when I started. I fell and injured my back and was put on workmans compensation and the doctor ordered me to change jobs for lighter duty. I was earning $10/hr. I was transferred to another location and put in the housekeeping dept. The doctor that the company sent me to told me that the company had to keep my pay the same as when I was injured when I returned to work. About a month after I started working in housekeeping my pay was lowered to $9/hr. When I asked why I was told the doctor didn't state that a job change was necessary. That is not accurate and I have documents stating that a job change was necessary. That's why I was transferred in the first place. Last week, the manager at the hotel gave us each a notice of Change of Employer. The hotel recently filed a registration statement with the Securities & Exchange Commission for an initial public offering and the new Employer expects to purchase all of the assets of our Company. I've been waiting until I leave the hotel before i file a wage claim with the Dept. of Industrial Relations for the change in my wages. Can I still file a wage claim if the hotel assets have been purchased by another LLC?
