No. A severance agreement which would prohibit your filing for UI benefits would not be enforceable. Whether or not your benefits will be delayed will depend on the specific state law. File.

You've already been told. No, nothing she did was against the law. Therefore there is no "authority" which can "help her out" unless she decides to pursue this internally. And no, the manager's comments may be unprofessional, rude, etc. and so on and so forth, but they were not illegal...

If you were not paid on time, you can file a complaint with the DLSE. Could this "payment" have been on a paycard? You would have had to affirmatively agree. http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/FAQ_Paydays.htm Relative to the time cards: http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/1421.htm I would...

1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. How exactly was this person "harrassed"? Rumors, and the spreading of them, is not illegal under the great majority of situations. How is this person now being harmed by the "rumors"?

YOU can't "do" any legal actions. Your not doing what they are doing and making you feel uncomfortable about it, is not illegal. Rise above it and ignore them if you want to stay there. If they see that what they are saying annoys you, they're going to keep doing it. If you ignore it...

No, it does not. A worker is automatically deemed an employee unless they meet the criteria for independent contractor status. If you're telling this assistant what to do, how to do it, when to do it, providing the supplies for the worker to do it, etc., the worker is an employee, period...

Yes. The number of hours worked are irrelevant when it comes to classifying workers. This person would be your employee, no question about it. Having that person "sign a statement" will do you absolutely no good if you are found out. Are you going to have a bookeeper or accountant? That...

That's OK. We just do that so responders know that there is a separate thread if they want to respond.

"Fair" and "required by law" are two different things. I don't disagree with you, I've been in a similar situation. Unfortunately, I couldn't hang on long enough to get into a doctor and I ended up quitting. I don't see any problem with calling HR to find out your status and what is planned...
