Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Notice of Termination
Sir,
Starting 3 weeks ago, I let my current employer know that my old job was trying to re-hire me. I had been with the current company for 3 months, and in that time, gone above & beyond the required job parameters. It was a good working relationship. On Sunday, I gave my job a 2-3 week notice of leaving. Nothing was said.Yesterday at the end of the day, they decided to "let me go" so they could get someone else in. I had given them the courtesy of notice when I could have just left. I was counting on working those 2 weeks so that I could be paid and pay my rent. Now I am only getting 7 days pay. I was also told that they "held back" my first weeks pay - are they required to give that to me now? And lastly, if they "let me go" with out notice, are they not required to have my final check ready?
Thank you,

Re: Notice of Termination
In California, all wages that are earned and have accrued during employment, must be paid at the time of your termination.
