Legal Question in Employment Law in California

You can go to the State labor board and file a complaint. You might be entitled to waiting time penalties as well.

Any claim of unpaid compensation can be brought at the Labor Commissioner office local to you. Call and talk to them about what they are willing to do for you. Generally, a call from them to the employer will remedy the problem. You must assume the employer is having money trouble, and you might consider looking for a new job.
