If you can prove there was a firm agreement to increase your wage to $12 per hour after 3 months employment, you can either file a claim with the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement or sue within the appropriate court jurisdiction for breach of contract. The statute of limitations for breach of an oral agreement is 3 years.
