If they cheated you on your pay rate or they did not pay you every single dime earned, I strongly urge you to file a claim with the Labor Commissioner. You can even download the forms online at http://www.dir.ca.gov. Please note that they may also be required to pay penalties on unpaid wages, final wages paid past the legal deadline (they must pay you on the spot if you were terminated or gave notice and within 72 hours if you quit without notice). This site also has California Labor Code in full detail, but the section you would be concerned with starts at 200. Good luck. You obviously have ethics, so you will be just fine.
