Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Labor board Penalties
My previous employer discharged me
without final payment. They owed
me around 4K. They shut down the
business and all of the checks they
did issue to me bounced. After
months of getting nowhere I took
the problem to the California Labor
Board... At the conference my
former employer finally paid me the
4K they owed... However I was
informed that due to the time frame
I would be entitled to extra penalties
somewhere around 10K. My old boss
told me that they would file
bankruptcy soon and I would never
see a penny of the penalties owed...
We have a hearing set next month
to determine the exact dollar
amount of penalties owed... I just
want to know if it is worth my time
to pursue this claim further or is this
as far as I should go... My old
company was an Inc by the way... I
have heard that this is important...
Thanks

Re: Labor board Penalties

If your ex-employer owes you waiting time penalties to the tune of $10K I think it would be worth pursuing.
