Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Not alloed on public property

My former employer who owns and operates a restaurant informed me that I am no longer allowed on any of his businesses for life! What happened was that he fired me. And my final paycheck bounced twice! I was then paid cash a week later. I was approved by the state of California EDD office to receive unemployment benefits! My former employer appealed it (and lost the case!) I became angry that he would appeal me receiving unemployment benefits. I then decided to inform the EDD that I did not recieve my final pay for 1 week after I was fired - my final paycheck bounced!! I was awarded an additional 10 days pay because by law I should have received my final pay on my last day of work! My former employer said they paid me in ''good faith'' and did not know my final paycheck would bounce. The state of Ca EDD said it doesn't matter the reason! I received the additional pay! Now my former employer 86'd me from his businesses - he owns and runs 3 nightclubs and eateries. Is this legal? He doesn't own the actual property. Just the business on the property. I was also told I would be arrested for trespassing if found in his restaurant! Can my former employer put me in prison for a long time? Does he have that right - regardless the reason?

Re: Not alloed on public property

So the check bounced and then he later made good on it in cash and then you complained and got paid again? That is just crooked. With character like that, it is small wonder that you were fired. You can give him my number so that I can sue you for your fraud. And by the way, he can exclude you.

He has the right to refuse to allow you on his premises.

He can refuse you entry. Further, why create needless problems by going to a business owned by him. The simple solution is to avoid him and his businesses, and avoid unwanted headaches.
