A: This is NOT a true 'workers compensation' matter, workers comp is for folks who fall of the ladder at work and need a back surgery. YOU have a Labor Law question, a WAGE CLAIM. Wage Claims go to the California Labor Board : https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/HowToFileWageClaim.htm That is before the LAbor Commissioner of the Division of Industrial Relations. (dont file anything at the workers comp appeals board, that's the wrong office.)
