Q.What can I do if my employer doesn't pay me at least the minimum wage?
A.You can either file a wage claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (the Labor Commissioner), or file a lawsuit in court against your employer to recover the lost wages. Small Claims Court is sufficient for claims up to $7,500.
If you would like assistance with filing a California wage claim with either the California Labor Commissioner or a California Small Claims Court, call 818-849-5206 or email Melissa C. Marsh, Esq. to speak with a licensed California attorney. Mention this article and receive a 30-minute consultation for just $99.
If you don't work in California, either The Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor or your state's Department of Labor may be responsible for enforcing the minimum wage. For a link to your state's Depart of Labor, click here.
