What is the name of your state? Oregon...to the question about how long an employee has to give you your money in a case of a firing...they have 3 business days to mail it or give it to you when you go in...i would suggest going in with another person when asking about your final paycheck so that if they refuse again that you will have a witness...they may say that you cant be on the premises but i dont know if they can inforce it unless they have personal security or a complaint filed with the police department...you can also send a certified letter that has been notorized asking for your money...make a copy of it and send it to yourself but dont open it!! If it goes to court this is proof of you asking for your money and they can not say they didnt recieve the request because it will have to be signed for since it is notorized....you can also call the better business bureau...good luck!! For the man who said he doesnt know if he is only to blame for the money being short he must go in and get a copy of this paper to see if it states that he is the only one on or in the till. If it does ask your supervisor to revise it because you are worried about the shortages and ask if it is possible for no one else to touch it so your name can be cleared....Also ask for proof that the other employees who are in this till have signed a paper that states that they are also responsible for any shortages since they have access to the money also...if this gets you no where, i would also write a letter to whom it may concern about your concerns and mail it to yourself so if it goes to court one day, you can say that you had these concerns and tried to get management to make sure that you are the only one in the money and they did not do so,so you wrote this to prove that you were ready to defend yourself and your concerns before any action was taken against you...good luck to you!!!
