Reporting labor violation (lemmy.ml)

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'm no legal professional; This would be reach out to an org (they may have more ideas) and ideally lawyer as well time, afaik you can't file anonymously without some loops in specific cases, best the lawyer can do is get some anti-retaliation paperwork going. It'd probably be best if your friend and their coworkers split legal costs and approached legal help together, if possible.
