California Waiting Time Penalties - Labor Code Section 203

When an employer intentionally fails to pay any wages of an employee who is terminated, or who quits, those wages will continue to accrue as a penalty at the same rate of pay for up to 30 days.

To calculate your penalties for unpaid wages, you take your daily rate of pay multiplied by the number of days you were not paid.
For example, $8.00 per hour x 8 hours per day = $64 per day. If your final paycheck did not come for 30 days, you should seek penalties at $64.00 x 30 days = $1,920.00.
