The best thing to do right away is document everything related to the unlawful activity. Rather than speak to someone over the phone or in-person, use text or email. Either method allows your conversation to be recorded and may be used as evidence if legal action is necessary.  Oftentimes, clients will try to take matters in their own hands. For example, employees think if they secretly record in-person conversations, the recording will be the proof they need. Not only are secret recordings illegal in California, but there’s a chance the illegal recording can’t be used as evidence at all.  If you suspect your employer is acting unlawfully, contact our office immediately. Our intake staff will get the information needed for an attorney to guide you through this process.
