26 F CA
I work at a spray tanning company. I’ve been here now for 6 months. It’s a terrible work environment. My boss takes out my breaks when I know I’m entitled to them legally – I’ve worked OT several times and never been paid a time and a half, and she’s never let me use PTO. She made me (and I get I still chose to do this) sign a contract saying she would take about $500 out of my last paycheck if I left before the year was up. Now I’m leaving and I’m curious if there’s a way out of this? I read in CA it’s illegal to not pay your employees for training – so essentially this would be her not paying me. Is that right? Or is there something I’m missing? Also looking for the best way to end this as I need to put in my 2 weeks soon. Help is appreciated!
