If they won't pay you immediately, file a claim the with California Labor Commissioner, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement. Or you can file a complaint in small claims court.

Promptly file a claim with the Labor Commissioner for unpaid compensation, interest and penalties. There is no guarantee of getting paid; if the company is broke and closes, good luck. If they are still in business, and you decide to hire counsel to help you, feel free to contact me. IF you win your case, you are entitled to your attorney fees as well.
