I've just went ahead and filed a claim with the CA Department of Labor regarding unpaid sick leave towards the end of my employment, as well as unpaid covid sick leave two months prior. Upon submitting my claim, I see that there will be a hearing. Does anyone have any experience with this? I didn't know that I'd have to appear in person, and it's not something I'd like to do. I just want my unpaid wages. Do I really need to show up in person?
