Re: PayCheck
This employer has not been honest with you. California law requires employers to pay employees all wages due on the day of termination.Go immediately down to your nearest Labor Commissioner's office and file a claim for your wages, plus waiting time penalties, which is the equivalent of a day's pay for every day they are late, up to a maximum of 30 days.
