Legal Question in Employment Law in California
My employer lowered my paid 4 weeks ago without imforming me. He didn't submit our payroll hours on time so he hand wrote pay checks 3 weeks in a row, they didn't come with an itemized statement of deduction. This week the itemized deduction was attached and I discovered my new pay rate. I have no contract describing my pay but I have been on the job over 3 months at the same rate. Do I have recourse?

It seems like you might have several claims for labor code violations. Please give me a call or send me an email if you would like to discuss the matter further (213-381-6557 or [email protected]).

The employer is entitled to set and change hours, duties, titles, compensation, benefits, leaves, vacations, holidays, policies, rules, etc. just not retroactively. Employees have the 'right' to pay and employee benefits per the minimum wage laws, and company policy as agreed. The law requires itemized deductions and contributions, so if they were not accurately done, you may have a violation to pursue. If you were not paid correctly, you may have a claim with the Labor Commissioner or grounds for private suit. If serious about pursuing these, feel free to contact me.
