Legal Question in Employment Law in California
non payment of wages following quit of employment
My former employer has failed to give me my final wages + commissions + expense reimbursement since I left their employ for a better position. Three weeks have passed and despite numerous phone calls, I have received nothing but excuses from my former manager. Today's excuse was that my "last paycheck" was for "future hours" and that I wasn't entitled to the pay, although I had to wait three weeks for my first check when I first went to work for them! I was also advised by a current employee that the management has tampered with my commissions statements since I left, assigning my commissions to other sales reps. The company owes me over $4000.00 in wages, commissions and expenses. How do I go about collecting?

File a complaint with the Calif. State Labor Commissioner. they do a good job at collecting and it wont cost you a dime.
