unpaid wages

[jim]

my employer has a goverment contract with the Air Force. My employer pays $1.12 per hour extra to hourly wage earners that do not use the company medical plan and insurance.All last year I was a part time employee with this company and did not receive this payment, even thou Calif. wage regulations say that I am intitled to it. the regulation does not make a difference between full time, part time, temporary ect. I have over 1200 hours accrued, how can I get my employer to pay this? The pervious company that had the contract had no problem paying it.. I feel that I am entitled to this ,plus interest..

Call the California Department of Labor and ask about it.

 

[Cal counsel]

California wage laws are very strict and generally permit a prevailing party to receover attorneys' fees. Thus, there are attorneys who will take these cases on a contingency. Especially if the case involves multiple employees, because the damages ann fees mount quickly. Check your local newspaper archives for stories about attorneys who have won settlements or judgments against employers for failure to page full wages, and contact one of them.
