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.

    I hear you, and thanks. My friend knows the time adds up, and it galls them. Like a lot of people though, they are reluctant to ‘rock the boat’ so to speak, or burn bridges at the beginning of a career in a small town. I will pass along your suggestion, and ask around for lawyer recs.
