KingPin, do you have a signed contract stipulating the terms of your employment? Are Federal and State Taxes being taken out of your previous paychecks? If you can get back to me on this, I can give you more specific advice, based on where you stand legally.

As others have mentioned above, in California, if you are an legal employee, you have specific protection under the labor laws of the state. But if your father is keeping you "off the books", things could be a lot more complicated....

In the meantime, go to the nearest shooting range and get a grip...lol. It's the best thing to do for your mental health.
