The phrase you want to use is "detrimental reliance".

I'm not all that positive the OP has a case that an employment lawyer will actually take.

Same answer I just gave you on the other forum where you posted this question.

"Reasonable" is subjective. The employer doesn't have to comply with the accommodations the physician suggests. Was there a discussion about what would have been reasonable in their opinion?

The company is not required to keep cancelled checks that far back. I can't believe you didn't know you didn't get paid at the time. When you got your 1099-MISC did you even check it against your record of payments? If you had, you wouldn't be in this fix now.

Well, actually, there is no reason for an I-9 at this point. The poster has already quit. All the employer needs to pay you is your name, address and SSN. Even a W-4 is not required, as they could withhold at Single-0 without one. Quinb, when was your last day worked? When should you...

In 5-7 years you have not had the time? Wasn't very important to you, was it? I would tell you to go jump, personally.

Didn't I say that nearly a month ago? Yes, I did. :yes: Alice, you might as well consider those documents lost and start recreating them.

Of course you have to be paid. Have you contacted the employer? What do they say?

The laws are totally different for employees than for independent contractors. That would have been a good fact for us to have known at the beginning.

You think maybe you should have said something earlier? Sheesh. The state DOL will not even take your claim for unpaid wages this many years later. And employers aren't required to keep payroll records that long, either. In fact, the great majority 2004 records could have been destroyed this...

So you NEVER got paid for time worked? How much and how long ago?

Wait a minute. "Volunteering"? If you were being paid for 20 hours per week, why would you not be paid for the rest of the time you worked? What type of work do/did you do there?

Let her sue you. This cannot be deducted from your paycheck.

And actually, the "one day's rest in seven" has been intepreted by the DLSE in that as long as you get the equivalent of one day's rest in seven over a month, that meets the requirement. And this is assuming that California law even applies on a federal military installation.

The only thing I saw in your post that was possibly illegal were the perceived threats of physical violence for which you could theoretically file a police report. However, if all they were, were threats with no action, don't count on the police to do much. Cussing, threatening, belittling...

If this case is not related to your employment, yes, the employer can make you use vacation/PTO time to get paid for those days.

What "personnel report"? Are you talking about your personnel file from your most recent employer?

jharris has a good point. I just assumed that she was paying you under the table. Which, of course, if you were told you would make $4.00 plus tips, and you received $4.00 per hour in cash every week or every two weeks, that would have been a logical assumption to make. OP, what were you...

Then you don't know yet whether or not the company will issue you a 1099-MISC. In the meantime, you should put together your hours the best you can, on a week by week basis. Then, by week, multiply that by the minimum wage and compare it to the pay you got for the week, including any tips...
