Legal Question in Business Law in California
I was offered an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles contract job.
The company paid for lodging and food.
I'm not sure if I was an employee or a contractor.
I asked many times for a notice so I would know when the contract/job was going to end because I had moved out of my home for the job.
They gave me 2 days notice. They also have told me that they would withhold my 3 bonuses they told me I would receive because I was upset about the short notice.
My questions are:
Are bonuses binding?
Did they have a requirement to give me notice? They told me they would and they new I'd have no where to go/live once the contract was over.
I'm not sure if it matters but I was obligated to pay the employer half of my wages back for an old debt that I had so he got half of the monies I made limiting the amount of monies I could save for transitioning to a new home.
