CA law requires that when an employee is fired, the employer must pay for all hours worked. The final check, including any earned and unused vacation or PTO must be paid on the date of firing. If not, you are owed one day's pay for each day you have to wait to be paid - up to 30 days, plus the unpaid wages and your former employer, the law states, "shall" pay your attorney. Call for a free initial phone consultation.

I agree with the other attorney. Any money owed for hours you worked plus vacation pay is immediately due to you upon termination. That's according to the CA Labor Code.

Promptly go file a complaint with the local office of the Labor Commissioner for unpaid wages, interest and penalties.
