Re: possible wrongfull termination

An employee is entitled to be paid for all time worked, even when that time includes breaks and lunches not taken. Upon termination, the employer is obligated to pay all amounts due to the employee. If it does not, penalty wages may become due. You need a lawyer to work out entitlement and what must be done to collect any past wages and/or penalties due. Do not delay contacting a lawyer. Your rights may be lost if you wait too long.
