From "I Think They Owe Me" to "Pay Me" in 10 Minutes
You don't need a lawyer to fight wage theft. You just need the right math. Here is exactly how MyWageCheck turns your work history into a legal demand.
The 3-Step Process
Step 1: The "Time Travel" Audit
Most people forget exactly which days they worked late 2 years ago. Our engine doesn't.
What you do:
Enter your start/end dates and your typical schedule.
What we do:
Our algorithm reconstructs your calendar week-by-week. We apply California's complex State Labor Codes (like the "8th Hour Rule") to every single shift for 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
Step 2: The Evidence Generation
A "hunch" won't win in court. You need hard numbers.
The Magic:
We generate a 19-Page "Exhibit A" Packet. This is a dense, line-by-line evidence log that documents your case.
The Strategy:
Instead of fighting with the government form's tiny boxes, you simply write "See Attached Audit" and staple our report to the back. This is the professional way to file.
Step 3: The "Paint-By-Numbers" Filing
We guide your hand through the bureaucracy.
The Forms:
We provide the official DLSE-1 "Initial Report of Claim" along with a "Form 1 Cheat Sheet."
The Ease:
We tell you exactly what to write in every confusing box. "Copy this number to Box 7." "Write this sentence in the Summary." It takes the guesswork out of filing.
What You Actually Get
The "Thud" Factor
The $79 Wage Recovery Packet Includes:
The Forensic Audit (Exhibit A)
A week-by-week evidence log documenting exactly when and how you were underpaid.
DLSE-1 "Cheat Sheet"
Exact answers to write on the official complaint form. No guessing required.
The "Demand Letter"
A formal legal notice to send your employer before you file (often gets you paid faster).
Interest Calculator
We automatically calculate the 10% annual prejudgment interest you are owed by law.
Why This Works
The "Secret Sauce"
The "California Math" Advantage
California labor laws are notoriously difficult. Did you know overtime kicks in after 8 hours in a day, even if you worked less than 40 hours that week? Or that a missed lunch break entitles you to a full extra hour of pay?
Our Engine Knows
We track the State Labor Code changes year-over-year.
Your Benefit
We often identify "hidden" money, like Liquidated Damages (double damages), that most workers don't even know exist.
Frequently Asked Questions
"Is this legal advice?"
No. We are a specialized data processor. We use the same math and logic that state auditors use. You represent yourself ("Pro Se"), but you do it with professional-grade evidence.
"Will my boss find out I checked this?"
Absolutely not. Your audit is 100% private. We never contact your employer. You decide if and when to show them the report.
"Why don't you just fill out the PDF for me?"
Because government forms change constantly, and automated PDF-fillers often break or look messy. Instead, we generate a professional "Exhibit A" (Evidence Log) and give you a guide on how to attach it. This creates a cleaner, more authoritative legal filing.
"Can I really do this without a lawyer?"
Yes. The California Labor Commissioner's office was designed for regular workers to use without attorneys. However, the system is slow and bureaucratic. Our packet organizes your claim perfectly so the state can process it faster.

Most users identify over $4,000 in potential unpaid wages in their first audit.
