I am in California and I'll be going to the Department of Labor next week. My old employer used to pay me extra for the heavier, more skilled work. This new employer said he would do the same, but hasn't. I never saved my checks from the old employer, but have them from the new employer. I have a contract, that I'm taking with me, but it's vague in that extra pay part. I trusted and never had a problem with my old employer - he treated me fairly. But this new guy just raked me over the coals. Thanks for your help.
