California Wage Claim

I quit a(n awful) job and they took a little over two weeks to pay me my final check. This was a little over two years ago and I just got a notice in the mail that I finally have a hearing and might be getting my wages back. First, this system is broken. It's outrageous that it takes this long (two years in September) to get wages out of an employer who refuses to pay, but second, has anyone been through this process? What should I expect? Is there anything I should prepare? FWIW, it's pretty cut and dry; they owed me wages, didn't pay, apologized for not paying, took their time paying, and then finally paid me, and then apologized for having taken so long. Thanks for your help.
