WAGE CLAIMS (2023)
Studies show that as many as 4 out of 5 employees are the victims of wage theft. If your employer owes you money, you have the right to immediately file a complaint with the California Labor Commissioner's Office (also referred to as the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) or, simply, the labor board) against your employer and have your case heard by a neutral California Labor Commissioner-appointed judge. The judge is authorized to issue a judgment against your employer awarding you unpaid wages, penalties, attorney fees and interest. The labor board does not charge any filing fees or other costs, nor does the labor board impose any penalties against employees who are unsuccessful in their complaint. California Labor Commissioner Lilia García-Brower has stated that she is committed to protecting the wage rights of undocumented or illegal immigrants. It is against the law for an employer to threaten employees based on their immigration status. It is also against the law for an employer to punish or retaliate against an employee for complaining about wage violations or filing a wage claim with the labor board.
Under California labor laws and the associated wage orders, employers are required to give non-exempt employees who work or reside in the State of California the following wage rights:
Rest Breaks
- - a 10-minute paid rest break if you work more than 3.5 hours in a day
- - a second 10-minute paid rest break if you work more than 6 hours in a day
- - rest breaks cannot be combined with other rest breaks or with meal breaks (with certain exceptions)
- - rest breaks must be uninterrupted and duty free
Meal Breaks
- - a 30-minute unpaid meal break if you work more than 5 hours in a day
- - a second 30-minute unpaid meal break if you work more than 10 hours in a day
- - meal breaks must be uninterrupted and duty free
- - employees must be permitted to start meal breaks no later than the end of the fifth and/or tenth hours into their shifts
Overtime
- - time and a half if you work
- a) more than 8 hours in a day,
- b) more than 40 hours in a week, or
- c) seven days in a row in a work week
- - double time if you work
- a) more than 12 hours in a day, or
- b) more than 8 hours on the seventh day in a row in a work week
Last Paycheck
If you have been terminated or laid off, you are entitled to receive your final wages upon termination or on your last day of work.
If you resign, you are entitled to receive your final paycheck within 72 hours after your last day of work. However, if you provided at least 72 hours advance notice of your last day, the final paycheck must be provided to you immediately on your last day of work.
Your final wages must include any accrued but unpaid vacation pay (but not sick leave pay).
Tips
A manager or supervisor (even if part-time) is not legally allowed to take from your tips or the tip pool. The law treats this as tip theft.
Driving Mileage Reimbursements
If you are required to drive from your employer's office to a job site, your employer is required to pay you a mileage reimbursement at the IRS standard mileage rate. As of January 1, 2023, that rate is 65.5 cents per mile. Employees are also entitled to an award of attorney fees incurred in filing such a claim with the Labor Board.
Deductions
Your employer is not permitted to take deductions out of your paycheck unless you have agreed to it in writing. Even if your employer has loaned you money, he cannot make any deductions without your written consent. If this is occurring, you are entitled to recover the moneys that were deducted.
Retaliation
If you complain to your employer or the labor board about any of the above wage violations, the employer is prohibited by law from retaliating against you. Retaliation could include a reduction of your work hours, demotion, pay cuts, suspension, termination, etc. If you are the victim of retaliation, you are entitled to file a separate retaliation complaint with the labor board.
FILING YOUR LABOR BOARD COMPLAINT (2023)
Filing a wage complaint with the labor board, can take as little as 30 minutes on the phone.
Even if you believe you are owed as little as a few hundred dollars, the penalties that apply under the California Labor Code and associated wage orders can be thousands of dollars. Penalties can include waiting time penalties, liquidated damages penalties, bounced check penalties, etc.
What You Need to File a Complaint
If you have any of the following documents, please have them ready when you call:
How Long the Complaint Process Takes
Resolving your wage complaint can take as little as a few weeks to as many as a few years. There are many factors involved, including how complicated your complaint is, how backlogged the commissioner and labor board branch office assigned to your case is, how willing your employer is to settle, whether your employer decides to appeal, etc. The labor board was already experiencing delays prior to the pandemic, but those delays have become significantly worse in the wake of the pandemic. The delays continue to this day. Your patience is appreciated.
The Steps in the Complaint Process
The first step in the wage complaint process is to fill out a Form 1 labor board complaint. You will typically need to also fill out a Form 55 attachment that sets out each amount you are owed for each pay period you worked for the employer. If you have a retaliation claim, you will also need to fill out a Form RCI-1.
If you need help with these forms, call us at (213) 992-3299 as the forms can be more complicated than they appear. Incorrect complaints are typically rejected by the labor board and need to be corrected before they can be re-filed. The re-filing process can take weeks or months. We can prepare the forms correctly for you in as little as a few hours.
Incorrectly filled out complaint
Same complaint after correction
In the above example, the claimant had submitted a complaint to the labor board that alleged only $1,274.97 in unpaid straight time and that lacked the required Form 55 calculation exhibit. After correction, an amended complaint was re-submitted that alleged $20,512.34 in unpaid straight time, overtime, meal and rest break premiums, liquidated damages, records penalties and waiting time penalties. In addition, required supporting calculation exhibits, including Form 55, were attached. The amended complaint package was accepted by the labor board.
Next, you need to file your complaint with the correct DLSE office. There are 18 regional DLSE offices assigned to the various cities in California (Bakersfield, El Centro, Fresno, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Oakland, Redding, Sacramento, Salinas, San Bernardino ,San Diego ,San Francisco ,San Jose ,Santa Ana, Santa Barbara, Santa Rosa, Stockton, and Van Nuys). Which DLSE office you apply to depends on which city you worked in. Again, this can be trickier than it first seems, as the office that is closest to the city where you worked isn't always the correct DLSE office to file in. Also DLSE office city assignments are subject to change. Filing with the wrong DLSE office can cause months of delay and often requires that you simply re-file your complaint with the correct DLSE office.
If you need help with this, give us a call at (213) 992-3299. We can ensure your complaints are filed with the correct DLSE office.
After your complaint is filed, you will receive a notice of conference from the labor board, typically in 3 to 12 months. At the conference, which you, your employer, and/or your attorneys are required to attend, the commissioner will ask questions, confirm information, and finalize your labor board complaint, which you will then sign. The conference also serves as an opportunity for the employee and employer to discuss settlement.
If there is no settlement, your complaint then proceeds to a final hearing or trial. Trials typically take place from 3 to 24 months after the conference. You may have to request subpoenas from the labor board and have them personally served on your employer and any necessary witnesses to ensure you have the evidence you need to win your trial. At trial, you must submit to the hearing officer or judge a copy of all documents and make available all witnesses required to prove your claim. Most employers will choose to have an attorney represent them at trial. Employees are not required to be represented by an attorney, but doing so is recommended.
The hearing officer or judge will issue their decision, called an ODA for "Order, Decision or Adjudication" within 15 days after the trial, but it will typically take up to a year for the decision to be mailed out to the parties. The parties will then effectively have 15 days to appeal the decision. If there is an appeal, the whole process starts completely over, except this time, your complaint is transferred from the labor board to a California State superior court (where the parties will have to pay court filing fees and other case-related costs, which can amount to hundreds, and in some cases, thousands, of dollars).
If you have won your trial and/or any appeal, and the employer refuses to pay, you will eventually be issued a formal court judgment. At that point, you must begin collection efforts on your own. The labor board may assist you with collection, although it varies by case.
If you need assistance with any of the above, give us a call anytime at (213) 992-3299 and we'll be happy to answer any questions.
I worked for CalTrans from Jul 1st 2021 and got discharged by Dec 28th 2021 (Fail probbation). During that time, I worked 4 days and 5 days alternate weeks (off every other Friday with 9 hours shift). I got issued only 1 pair of clothes, a jean and a jersey while I worked 4 days -5days per week. I did ask the supervisor, but he said no budget. I got issued very limited tools, mostly just hand tools only to performing the work. I did not receive any benefit like medical insurance at all while I did select for Kaiser. I never received any information from Caltrans nor Kaiser. I did ask my supervisor many times during first month and at least 3 times per month after, but he said during Covid time, things got be taken longer. First 3 pay checks, there were no deduction, but last 3 pay checks, more than $400 was taken out of it. I did ask the supervisor about that. He said he sent email to HR, but there was still no responding. I did call Kaiser to verify if I had insurance (so I could cancel other one which cost us more than using Kaiser). I got confirm that I did not have Kaiser. Last year I did fill out the form to get my money back with Department of Industrial Relations, State Case Number WC-CM-869109 assigned to Iman Alabsi. I did not know that I had an appointment for conference. Once I received missed call, I did call back several times and left some messages. There were no answering. A week later, I received a letter mentioning that my case was closed. I did send email many times, but until now I did not get any respond yet. I do believe I got terminated because I am a Veteran and an Asian. My other co-worker who was a Veteran got the same feeling since the supervisor picked on us and looked down on us all the time (with his so personal jokes that made us looked stupid to him). That was the reason my co-worker quit a month before I got discharged (even though he just past probation few weeks before). It is not fair for me. Any one has any advice for me. Please help. Thanks.
Filed over 6 weeks ago, after numerous attempts to communicate with the office my complaint was assigned to (Salinas) I was then told they are 6-10 months out before looking into my case. What kind of joke is this, if this office is that behind on cases then hire more personnel or assign the case to another office. This is such a joke!

In the correct image example for the claim filed with the Labor Board, you added liquidated damages to their claim. I thought that was only for employers that fail to pay an employee minimum wage. The minimum wage at the time in 2017 was $10-$10.50, and the employee was paid $11. Curious to know why did you claim liquidated changes?
I worked for a guy who has a unlicensed construction company and pays cash but doesn’t really pay at all. He worked me for 20days straight before firing me because he caught his nephew using drugs. He said his nephew told him that his workers were all using and accused some other worker of giving him the drugs not me but since I didn’t speak up which I didn’t know anything about. He fired me. I think it’s because he didn’t want to pay me. We agreed that I was going to get paid 170 a day and usually I charge more but I needed help getting my truck fixed and he offered to fix it for me if I helped him remodel a house that he was working on at the time. So I told him ok I figure shouldn’t take me more then 7 days. Well as the days went on and the house was getting close to being done . He pulled me out of that job and took. Me to do other jobs and finishing them somedays working from 7am till 9pm and not by choice. So I asked him when will we finish that first job he would say that he was jus waiting on materials that was not true. Then that’s when he attacked out and fired me. I worked 20 days my truck is at his house all my clothing and personal things he hasn’t fixed my truck and living in the streets… I need help please

The owner of Ciros Pizza in Folsom CA violates almost every labor law listed on this page and the kids that work for him are too afraid to speak up. When customers leave a tip on an on-line order he keeps the tip for himself and says it’s a “service fee”. When the employees deliver pizzas to and the business pays on line and leaves a tip, he keeps it. The employees that are delivering the meals for seniors are not paid mileage. He gives them a “couple bucks” for gas. He does not give breaks or lunches unless an employee specifically asks for it, which they don’t because they know it is frowned upon. If there is not enough cash in the drawer to pay the employee for tips received during the shift that were paid at the register, he makes them write an IOU and will pay them when he has cash. He has shorted employees on hours multiple times and only pays them if they say something about it. He has been getting away with this for years because he hires young kids that won’t stick up for themselves.
wow like why is he still open for business? Does nobody want to help you?? really? I know how you feel 🙁

I was recently fired for not being available to work out of town or not being able to work whenever Jon Stewart wanted me too. Due to having a family with 4 kids; three are under 6, I had to start late 3 days a week to take my kids to daycare. Although I would start late, I would still work my 8 hours and sometimes more. Now Jon is saying that a construction foreman cannot have ANY availability issues and needs to be at his beckoning call. Our family is large and requires two incomes to survive; Jon Stewart has fired me because my wife works and it affects my start time but does NOT affect my work. Is this legal?

As a longtime employee with a healthcare organization being paid through Cynet Systems and Cynet Health based in Virgina. I have stuck by them through their Caucasian fiasco . (search for “Cynet Caucasian” on google for more information). However, I am forced to write this complaint because they never pay many of us healthcare workers on time particularly overtime benefits and training payments. Their HR team is incompetent and talking with them is futile. They have taken advantage of Covid by forcing their remote employees in Philippines and India to work long hours and weekends with little pay and no incentives. (Many of these employees make only $200 per month) They have tried to earn employees goodwill by claiming to not do layoffs. However, a quick search on SBO’s website shows that they have been given $5 MILLION dollars from Covid CARES government funding. This dis-ingenuity is appalling and illegal to receive funding when we are being paid directly by hospitals while exploiting their poorly paid remote employees. I am considering bringing this up with TJC.
Advice to Management
– Make payments to us on time. We bring revenue by risking our lives and working in hospitals during a pandemic.
– Stop claiming to be heroes to your employees by pretending to care for them while abusing their goodness and extracting evenings and weekend work for no additional pay or with pay cuts. Be transparent and truthful with them.
– Stop abusing government programs by making millions of dollars from grants during the pandemic. (source: https://sba.app.box.com/s/wz72fqag1nd99kj3t9xlq49deoop6gzf)

Hi, I have a question about hair stylist in California. I currently get paid commission and only commission. I can be at the salon all day while still having to help around and not making a single dollar since I had no client. I’ve heard from a few people that I cant be getting paid like this anymore, that I should be getting paid for the time that I’m there while not having a clinet?

When an employe has a complain and makes a complain 40 days later gets terminated with no resolution then 44th day its told that their no wrong doing from their parts.
My employer is procrastinating on giving my final check. I had left since last month, I called and emailed, no communication whatsoever. The employer received his PPP and told his employees he will reduce all his their pay in half if they want to continue working for him.
Hi there – I was terminated on 2/24/2020 without warning and my sales performance more than met the requirements. I signed an At Will contract when I was hired on 5/6/2019, and was wondering if my employer can let me go like this without any warning. The reason they gave me at my termination was a “change in direction” I’m 52 years old and Latina. A younger employee on the team, who was hired after me and had lower sales than me was kept on. I feel I was terminated because perhaps I was not a culture fit and am feeling I was unjustly let go.
My employer was Fireclay Tile in San Francisco.
Thank you,
Peggy
Hi I’m not sure how I put the wrong date in but I was actually terminated on 6/22/2020.
I got laid off with no notice
My employer has asked many of its employees to stay home due to business slow down and to use paid time off/vacation time to be paid, starting in April. Staff working in busier departments continue working as usual. Two weeks into April, company-wide pay cuts were announced. If my employer is keeping me home AND reducing my pay/wages, is that legal? I accumulated my paid time off/vacation hours while earning at a different rate. For example, if I was making $18 hourly while I accumulated my paid time off/vacation time, now I’m being deducted my paid time off/vacation time in order to be paid (because I’m stuck at home) BUT INSTEAD of being paid $18 hourly, I’m being paid the pay cut rate of $15 hourly. This seems like grounds for an unpaid wages claim, unfair labor practices and seems illegal. Any replies or advise?

I am a county employee. The payroll clerk for my department is repeatedly messing up paychecks for multiple employees. Some losing over a thousand dollars or not getting a check without calling to fix the problem. I have chosen to get comp time for my overtime or for paid holidays that fall on my day off. He has neglected to compensate me for holiday time at least 3 times in the last year. When I questioned the missing time last month he said it would be fixed by the next payday. He has now removed all of the other time I banked and replaced it with the missing time. I have coworkers who are also wanting to join in this complaint due to the mistakes made repeatedly on their checks. Supervisors and managers are aware of the problem and have been for several months, but there has been no change. Is this something you can help with?
My employer only pays for time scheduled to work, and deducts pay for tardiness but refuses to go off time punches. Is this illegal?
Employers have to pay workers for all time worked on the clock. That usually means the employer has to pay according to time punches. It is also the employer’s responsibility to maintain accurate, contemporaneous time records of all time worked.
I am a school bus driver and am employed by a private company that is contracted out to a school district. My position is a field trip driver (instead of a home to school route driver) for student activities in the district we work for as well as other facilities and charter. While we are engaged in waiting, at the venue, for the group to come back to the bus, my company requires us to clock off and take a half hour lunch if we are working over 6 hours and a second lunch after the 10th hour. My employer is insisting that my second lunch has to be taken AT the 10 hour of work. I told her the labor and state laws say I take a second lunch AFTER the 10th hour of work. They refuse to acknowledge the law. example: I had two fields trips on the day in question. my first trip started at 8AM and ended at 1PM. My second trip started at 1PM, I took a half hour off duty lunch at 3PM, signed back on at 3:30 and was finished at 6:30PM. That is a total of exactly 10 hours that I worked for the whole day. I could not take my first lunch earlier than I did because I was driving or loading and unloading my students. My employer insisted I owe her another half hour lunch because I worked 10 hours. She deducted that second half hour out of my pay anyway without my permission. They have done this several times in the last few years and myself and the other 7 field trip drivers just except it due to them bulling and threatening us by not giving us very much work.
I quit my job on Feb 19th. Told my boss to mail me my check within 72 hours. Today is Feb 28th and I have not received my last check.
You should file a claim. That is illegal and you are entitled to penalties.
Hello,
I have a concern from 2019.
My employer fired me without notice or warning on January 21, 2019. I notifed my employer over the phone to mail me my check. At the time I was patiently waiting, after a week I still haven’t received my check. So I called the HR department turns out my check was still in their office. They didn’t mail it out until Feb 6, 2019 and I received it a few days after that. Is this still a valid claim?
Is it ok to only be paid for only 30 minutes of time for reporting pay? Can they take away vacation hours?
Is it ok to not be paid prevailing wage on a state funded job. Spent 10 work days on a job that was prevailing wage for all other trades except our boss didn’t want to pay prevailing. Concerned on if there was a way around it for him or if my co worker and I on the job got mis treated.
Please look into this company.
They “hire” young adults under the misrepresentation of event coordinator assistants and promised a $500.00 per week.
They have them go to an office for huddle and daily goals then dispatch them in their own cars to different locations.
They are then forced to stay there until 8 pm or until a minimum of $300.00 is raised. They then drove back to office for recap and spend another hour or so there.
They work 6 days a week over 10 hour days to receive a paystub for $400.00 minus tax deductions and description of pay is “commissions “the name
Of the company is Pacific Proceeds inc.
i personally know 2-4 people they are doing this to.
I will be checking back for your reply and feed back.
Thank you. Elli
