I think my employer will retaliate against me if I file a wage claim for unpaid overtime. What can I do?
If your employer discriminates or retaliates against you in any manner, including termination, you can file a discrimination/retaliation complaint with the Labor Commissioner's Office. Alternatively, you can file a lawsuit in court against your employer.
