California employers steal more than $2 billion from workers every year. Most victims never collect a dollar — because they don’t know the law. This kit changes that.

Your Employer May Owe You Far More Than You Think

Daily Overtime — Most Ignored Rule
California requires 1.5x pay after 8 hours in a single day — not just 40 per week. If your employer only paid weekly overtime, they may owe you years of daily overtime.
Meal & Rest Break Premiums
$1 additional hour of pay for every missed break. Three years of missed breaks for a restaurant worker = $20,000–$60,000 in premiums before you count unpaid wages.
Waiting Time Penalties
Final paycheck 15 days late? At $25/hour x 8 hours x 15 days = $3,000 penalty automatically owed — on top of the wages themselves.
PAGA — Penalty Multiplier
Private Attorneys General Act: forces employment attorneys to take your case on contingency. Penalties apply per employee per pay period — small violations become large recoveries.
