Question

I have a dilemma....I was recently awarded a labor claim by the CA DLSE for the non payment of my last day worked and for overtime work as well as the 30 days of waiting time penalties. I had a four month agreement with the employer for my base pay of $46.0k per year as well as a guaranteed draw of $3800.00 per month for those first four months after which I would go back to my base of $46.0K and a 2.5% commission rate. She said her husband "just wants to pay you $8.00 an hour".....anyway, the hearing officer made my 30 waiting penalty @ $64.00 a day versus the $355.92 that was my correct wage at the time. I was also awarded overtime etc. Issue-Do I file an appeal of this decision because of the incorrect calculation of the penalty?? About $8.0K?? As well the hearing officer made incorrect statements in the decision....i.e. that I knew I would be making $8.00 an hour?? There is much more to this story but I am just stuck on whether to file an appeal (trial de novo)???? Thank you!
