Hi Mx. Chapo,

I’m looking for advice about reporting labor law violations in California, USA. A good friend of mine works in the medical field, and they (and their coworkers) are routinely victims of wage theft. “Overtime” is policed to the extent that it is normal for them to clock out at exactly 8 hours, but continue working for 10-15 minutes.

My friend is annoyed by this, but is afraid of retaliation, and generally likes the job. Can anyone tell me how to report this anonymously? Cursory internet searches make it seem like the reporting party has to be identifiable.

    Are they unionized? Unions won’t initiate proceedings without your express consent, so if they have one on their side, they can talk about the situation and resolution. Not sure how you would resolve this solo, any of my thought would involve identification

      No, they aren’t unionized. Also they are a nonprofit. I’m considering sending some anonymous letters/emails to the business and/or media.
