Legal Question in Employment Law in California
A Labor Commissioner of the State of California, Alameda County (Oakland), has ordered my former employer to pay me $58,068.56. The amount consists of back wages, interest, and a penalty. The company did not appeal.
How do I go about enforcing this judgement in a court of law?

First write the employer to see if they will pay. If not, ask the Labor Board [whatever their title is] what you can do. If you had an attorney, ask the attorney without charging you what you can do.
The Labor Commissioner should either turn it into a judgment for you, or be able to tell you how to do it. Once you have a court judgment, the process and options for collecting on the judgment literally fill a multi-volume book. So there is no way to explain them here. Go to the Witkin County Law Library in downtown Oakland, and ask for the Rutter Group Practice Guide on Enforcing Judgments and Debts.
