Legal Question in Employment Law in California

over-time

I have filed a wage claim against my employer for un-paid over-time. My question is wage claim was filed for Dept. of Labor, can I still sue the employer for willful violation of labor laws on my own? For giving out information on me concerning private issues not directly connected with the wage issue/

Re: over-time

Yes you can. Your wage claim is limited solely to the claims and information you provided in your Complaint with the DLSE. Any other claims not covered therein can be brought as another action either in Court or with the DLSE.
