What is the name of your state?Hi,
I live in California. My employer let me go a few weeks ago, however he did not pay me for my 2 week notice. I told him for this full time job when I started that I would like a courtsey 2 week notice if I am ever let go. He verbally agreed then. Also, the day I was fired, he said he would take care of me (for a month) with a paycheck (as I thought per our prior 2 week verbal agreement). He said that I could go home for the 2 weeks and wouldn't have to worry about it. After 1 month he still did not pay my money. I sent him quite a few emails and he did not reply. When I called him, he could not recollect from his memory whether he verbally agreed to that. Now he doesn't return my calls.
What should my course of action be? Some people have told me to go to BBB or lawyers. I thought it was common practice to give employees 2 weeks in state of California.
Thanks
