All I know, Joe is that I have had that exact thing happen to me several employers ago.

1). There is a labor commisioner that is the final say. She needs to find that office and they can be anonymous.

2). California is an 'At Will' state. Meaning the employee serves at the 'will' of the employer. I know how bad that sounds, and lots of attorneys are willing to take anything on.

In her case, if she rocks the boat, she'll be replaced. If she 'waits and sees', she will be disappointed. If she is discharged (for almost any reason), she does have to be paid for accrued vacation time. And THAT is whatever the employer says it was, unless in writing.
