There are home care agencies that issue checks that bounce. These are done repeatedly by these heartless home care agencies but most caregivers don't even complain. The caregivers had already done their services for the whole month and only frustrated to find that their checks issued to them cannot be encashed because they don't have any deposit at all. And I don't understand why banks tolerate this kind of transaction? When asked, home care agency owners reason out that they couldn't collect any payments from clients. Is this a valid reason?  Where can caregivers file their complaints In Los Angeles for not receiving their salaries on time from the home care agencies they work with?

Many corrupt employers get away with wage theft because employees aren't aware of it and let it happen. Perhaps the Dept. of Labor should start enforcing all employers to provide Labor Law information programs/seminars within companies for all employees...? SOMEthing must be done...
