What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
My last employer fired me through email and will not pay me my last paycheck. It has been 7 days since I was terminated. I tried to contact my previous employer to see what the hold up was and he responded with the following:
"I am investigating incidents regarding your employment with -----. The incidents are serious and numerous. Prosecution is a possibility in cases of slander, libel, fraud, and theft. In any event, the hours you worked and the days of work you missed are being verified. As you know, ----- does not offer vacation or sick leave benefits, So any days missed will not be paid. I expect to complete this matter in short order. This is likely a much bigger problem for you than you may realize."
Needless to say these accusations are completely bogus and I do not know what to do from here. The only reason given for firing me was that I would not meet him at a restaurant after work hours.
