1 - not so quickly as all that;
2 - particularly if you don't know how to work the system, where to file a complaint, or how to get help;
3 - still a problem if you don't have the money to wait for that paycheck to show up for months or years

- x0x0 12y agoTo introduce some actual evidence: No. In California, there's a fairly straightforward process, assuming you go through the CA Labor Commission instead of a lawsuit. If the employer contests your claim in any way, it basically takes at bare minimum 6 weeks to complete, and often longer. A normal timeline, in a contested case, would be bare minimum 8 weeks until cash in hand. Longer timelines are typical.

- danielweber 12y agoI missed the evidence. California law provides for penalties payable to the employee, giving him his daily wage for each day the last payment is delayed. http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_waitingtimepenalty.htm http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/faq_waitingtimepenalty.htm It typically isn't worth trying to dick over your old employee.
