Re: False salary statement given by employer

It makes no sense for your employer to record higher payments to you as they would have to pay higher taxes, worker's comp, etc. on such amounts. Are you sure that the difference between the amount you receive and the amount stated is not due to their withholding of Federal Taxes, State Taxes, Disability, SSI and Medicare payments? Possibly you were also hired out of an agency which takes a fee?

If the amount truly is different, file a complaint with the office of the DLSE located nearest you.

You can make a claim to the Labor Commissioner. Contact me if interested in having representation making the claim and at the hearings and trial.
