What is the name of your state? This is in the state of California. I am in a state of shock.
I recently gave my company notice that I had accepted a offer from another company. The new start date is April 1.
I gave verbal notice on 3/9 and written on 3/10. I said I would complete the month with them.
I received a Voice Message from the General Mgr. That he had spoken with the owner and my last day could be as early as 3/11. He would call me back. My paycheck ending 3/15 was already done. He never called back.
I received a check today. My last pay period in full. I also received a check for vacation time, minus the 2 days from the last pay period check. There is also an offer of Cobra. There is no statement that I was termed. They also called my future employer, making it known to them, that they (old Company) were not happy.
Is this legal? If I was termed on 3/11, I think I should have been paidoff that day or at least informed.
Can they choose to not honor a notice? Three weeks is a long time with no pay for me. There is an 'at will' clause in my contract.
What is the recourse?
Thank you for any info.
