Failing to Pay Wages at Employment Termination

If Your Employer Owes You, We Will Make Them Pay

Under California law, if you leave a company for involuntary reasons, your employer must pay you in full the day of your separation. You final paycheck must include all pay for reimbursed business expenses and unused vacation and time off. If you resign voluntarily, the waiting time for your final paycheck is not to exceed 72 hours.

 

Waiting-Time Penalties Are Serious

If your former employer has exceeding the waiting time for paying you all money owed, it might be following an illegal practice of delaying payments. There are other former employees who have the same legitimate legal issue.
