How Do I Contact the California Department of Labor and Unemployment Office?

Answer:
In California, there are actually two different departments,

the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR), and the California Employment Development Department (EDD).

For any questions regarding labor practices, occupational safety, or workers' compensation, the DIR should be contacted. The office of the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations is located at
455 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. The public information line is (415) 703-5070. It is helpful to have your social security number handy, as well as details about your last job position and termination. Be prepared to wait awhile, as they field many calls. Further information can be found at their website, at http://www.dir.ca.gov/default.html .

The California Employment Development Department has its headquarters in Sacramento, at 800 Capitol Mall, MIC 83, zip code 95814. They can be reached by telephone at 1-800-300-5616, or online at http://www.edd.ca.gov/ Again, your social security number, a good sense of patience, and the information about your last job will be helpful.
