Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I have a friend who works for a local school district as a classified (hourly) employee.

She was called personally to attend a four hour training session at the start of the school year and was told, by the principal, she would be paid for these hours. She attended, however, the pay compensation was later denied by the same principal. This principal has pulled similar stunts and, in spite of continued complaints, nothing has been done to correct this behavior in similar employee/admin. issues. In fact, with each unaddressed complaint, this principal gets more and more bold with the skirting of the law. IS this a violation of the labor laws and specifically which one so that I may refer my friend further with specific a "citing" to use? I know if this happened in a regular business situation, there would be appropriate recourse.

Thank you

This is a violation of numerous labor laws. She should put a request in writing to the principal for the wages due, plus interest. If he does not respond favorably, contact the school distict office and report this.
