Student friend interviewed w/ large San Francisco dept store for
minial work in kids dept.

Was interviewed, offered job & completed some paperwork ( including
application clearly stating unavailable Tues&Thur). Unexpecting to get
a same day/immediate offer, friend didn't have SS card ( I-9) on day
1.

Mgr scheduled friend to train in day 2. Friend reported (w/ SS card) ,
but mgr absent. 2d mgr set up training & worked for full day. Works
another day ( hiring mgr absent again).

Hiring mgr returns stating "we have a problem". Seemingly recinding
offer with statements of "we really didn't hire you since you didn't
have SS card at that time", & "though you say you worked, i don't know
that since there's no punch records." Friend had not been issued a
punch card & was advised by others to document hours + several
witnesses to the fact. Finally, hiring mgr said "if you're unavail for
tues/thu ...then you need to reconsider about working here"

Seems mgr screwed up ( on making an offer) & is back tracking to undo
& confuse my friend to thinking everything was tentative, or
alternatively non-compliance w/ I-9 and denial that she actually
worked hours & is intimidating my friend to think she has no right to
pay or to the job.

Doesn't a new hire have 3 days to produce I-9 documents?

any thoughts?

thanks

The employer must pay for time worked. Period. The employee should go to
the California Labor Commission and file a complaint. It's free. The
commission will do the collecting. There may be extra money because there
is a daily penalty for every day that payment is not made, up to 30 days
pay. 32 days pay is better than 2 days pay. Don't forget to claim the
penalties.
