Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I am an employee appealing the Labor Commissioner's ruling. I need to subpoena paychecks from my former employer to prove that I was paid for unused vacation time, as my former employer NEVER gave me any paystubs and only has produced fabricated handwritten records.

I read on a small claims website that you need to give 20 days notice when you subpoena documents, and send a letter that announces your intent to subpoena documents. My question is: Are the guidelines different when it is an appeals case and it is your pay records that you are subpoenaing? What exactly do I need to do? Thank you.

Subpoena law is the same regardless of the nature of the proceeding.
