Check if your employer has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). It sometimes includes free legal consultations. Also, many employment attorneys offer free initial consultations.

I went through something similar. The key is to act quickly — statutes of limitation are shorter than you think. My attorney took it on contingency and we settled for a decent amount.

Don't resign — that weakens your leverage. Let them fire you if it comes to that. A wrongful termination claim is stronger than a constructive dismissal claim.

This sounds like a clear violation. Document everything and file with the appropriate agency. In California, you have strong protections under the Labor Code.
