If an employee asks to see a suppossessed employment agreement must they be given a copy?
I am currently working for a temporary agency and my boss had informed me I could use them as a stepping stone until I found a more permanent job. I was recently encouraged by a property I worked at to apply for a job opening and have now been offered a job with double my pay. When informing the temp agency they claimed I am under a contract that I do not recall signing or seeing and was not verbally informed about. I requested a copy of said contract, letting them know that I was not looking to burn them or take off but wanted to see the contract since I did not have a copy. The agency will nor produce a copy.

Under California Labor Code section 432, upon request, an employee is entitled to copies of any documents he signed relating to his employment. If they have a contract signed by you, you are entitled to a copy. Please give me a call at (213) 381-6557 or send me an email ([email protected]) if you would like to discuss the matter further.
All the best,
