I work for a small restaurant in California, making minimum wage for the hours I work. I started there 2 months ago and receive a paycheck every Monday, but ever since I started working there I have not been able to deposit my checks because there is no money in the account. I haven't been paid at all, other than making my tips. Most everyone at the restaurant has quit, except for myself and the other server. Our manager offers us no advice or hope that we will ever be paid. The owner owns a few restaurants and has plenty!!! of money to pay us. Is there anything I can do other than report him to the DOL? I honestly believe that if I do, the owner would have me fired. If this happens what steps should I take in making sure that he doesn't get away with this?
