Employer Police Involvement Rules

Summary

Employers in California cannot call the police simply because an employee leaves their job. However, if the employee commits a crime such as theft or fraud, the employer can report it to the police. False accusations might lead to defamation lawsuits. For unpaid wages, contact the Department of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE). Recording conversations without consent is illegal in California. If your employer is secretly recording you, contact the California Labor Commissioners Office or a private attorney.

Thank you for the information, actually my employer is being mentally oppressed us, so I left the place
I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. Have you collected any evidence of this mental oppression? Also, are you considering taking any legal actions against your employer?
I don’t want to go for the legal actions because I feel it bothering me and I don’t have money for it because she never paid me.
I understand your concern. In California, you can contact the Department of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) for unpaid wages. They can potentially help you recover your unpaid wages without needing a lawyer.

That's a critical step. In California, it's illegal to record a conversation without consent from all parties. Were all parties aware and did they consent to the recording?
Oh, okay I don’t know it but my employer also recording us every time
