How Does California Define Unpaid Wages?
Work, labor, or service supplied by contract, subcontract, station plan, partnership, or other arrangements if the labor to be compensated for is performed personally by the individual seeking payment.
An employer is required to pay you the compensation you earned for the work you did. Unpaid wages are defined as violations of Employment Code section 200. They can result in statutory and civil penalties as outlined in section 210, including a waiting time penalty, which occurs when an employer fails to provide a former employee with his or her final paycheck within, say, 14 days, and the employer is liable for wages during that 14-day period.

Failing To Pay The Wages You Earned Is Illegal
Employers are expected to pay you on time for the earnings. If you leave a job unwillingly due to a layoff or unjust termination, your employer is required to pay you promptly, including any unpaid vacation days or time-off benefits, as well as earned sales commissions and incentives. Under the California Employment Code, if you voluntarily quit, you are entitled to collect any money owed to you within 72 hours.
If you are owed pay in California, your employer is in violation of the law. It’s likely that you’ve been the victim of a policy of withholding pay for as long as possible. Instead of asserting your rights under the law governing unpaid wages, many firms expect that you would simply go away and not worry about the amount you are still due.
Your rights as an employee have been violated in every single one of these ways. You have a responsibility to understand that being treated in such a manner is not typical. It is not an acceptable behavior. We are able to put up a fight for you.
