Legal Question in Employment Law in California

State of California Labor Law

I work for a city within Southern California and we are told that labor laws do not apply to them. Specifically, we are told if you give more than 72 hours notice of your intent to resign the city is not required by law to provide you a final check on your last day of employment. We are told that they can get you your check in the next check run, however, if the termination paperwork is not received within their Payroll department until 2 or 3 weeks after you resign they still have until the next paycheck run to provide you with your final check. This means you can wait sometimes 4 or 5 weeks after you terminate to get your final check. Is this correct?

I believe that to be incorrect. Now, if it applies to you, and you haven't gotten your check, feel free to contact me to discuss your rights to the pay, interest and penalties, and the procedures to take in making your claim. Any others that have that happen should join you in this.
