What employer near San Jose paid you 2 hours a week? This is a tiny fraction of the local minimal wage. When was it? Do you have proof of it? You might have a legal claim against that employer. I have a lawyer in San Jose who might be able to take your claim. Please provide the name of the employer and the time when it happened and I will check whether the statute of limitations on such a claim is still running.

It is unbelievable that in San Jose you would be paid $2/hr. I was at a Silicon Valley In'N'Out burger yesterday and they are hiring at $21-25/hr.
