What is the name of your state? California
I was interviewed to manage one of a company's stores. It was a base salary plus bonus. After I accepted, I was told my base would be less for the 2 weeks I was to spend training at another location. The day before I was to go to the location I was hired for, I was told not to tell the current manager of our deal. They said they had another management position for him and they would tell him later. I was to use this time to get to know the store and the staff. After 2 weeks I asked if they had told him. They said no, I should and since technically we were both managing the store, we would have to split the bonus.
After I was told of the bonus split, I asked about having my base go up as promised. They said they would get back to me after the weekend. On Monday I was told we would meet Tuesday morning. On Tuesday mornig I was dismissed for "miscommunication of compensation". When I asked if I had done anything wrong I was told "No, you haven't done anything wrong. We're just afraid you'll keep asking for more money as time goes by."
Also, the week before I went to the training store, I was required to go to their offices on one day to fill out forms and anther for an orientation. When I asked why I didn't receive a check for that week I got a check for 1/5 of my salary. My salary is discribed as 52 equal checks per year.
This is a service store. I was hired because of my experience and reputation in the community. I had been spreading the word about my new position and many of my clients had began coming in.
Is this wrongful termination? Do I deserve the balance of my first check?
