Common Questions:

Will my employer know I checked this?

Absolutely not. Your audit is 100% private. We never contact your employer. You decide if and when to show them the report.

Is this legal advice?

No. We are a specialized data processor. We use the same math and logic that state auditors use. You represent yourself ("Pro Se"), but you do it with professional-grade evidence.

Can I really do this without a lawyer?

Yes. The California Labor Commissioner's office was designed for regular workers to use without attorneys. Our packet organizes your claim perfectly so the state can process it faster.

Why don't you just fill out the PDF form for me?

Government forms change constantly, and automated PDF-fillers often break or look messy. Instead, we generate a professional "Exhibit A" (Evidence Log) and give you a guide on how to attach it. This creates a cleaner, more authoritative legal filing.

What if my employer retaliates?

Retaliation for filing a wage claim is illegal under California Labor Code Section 98.6. If your employer fires, demotes, or punishes you for filing, you may be entitled to additional damages. This is a serious violation that the Labor Commissioner takes very seriously.
