Legal Question in Employment Law in California

My employer has made a error in my check resulting in me not being paid for hours. How many days are they allowed to make the correction. I do not want to wait until next pay period which is in two weeks.

Also my employer is making employees who doesnt have a standard location to work work on call. We have to wait by the phone and cant make any plans if we dont get a schedule in advance. Are they violating the on call law?

Wages must be paid when due, and if you don't get your correct hours pay, you can file a claim with the Labor Commissioner for the pay, interest and penalties. You are also entitled to 'on call' pay when required to stay 'available' like that. Add that to your Labor Commissioner claim. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, feel free to contact me.
