Legal Question in Employment Law in California

You already should have gone to the Labor Commissioner with your claim. Do so now. They will investigate and pursue the employer for back payment and penalties for you. Or you can hire an attorney to do that, with the extra issue that if you win your claim in court, you get your attorney fees as well. Either way, if the employer in any way retaliates against you, that is a new and more valuable lawsuit for damages. If that occurs, definitely contact me for the legal help you'll need. If you want help with the basic claim contact me too. I've been doing such employee rights litigation for many years.
