And at what stage of the process does it happen?
So, basically, you're going to lose.Wasn't good cause... it was an idiot staff member that pretended to do work for the last two months; so I pretended to have problems paying him for two months.
In fact, I don't know why the employee decided small claims court was the way to go. Should have gone to the DLSESo, basically, you're going to lose.
You CANNOT withhold pay for an employee who is on the clock who isn't working up to your expectations. Your recourse is to terminate.
For two weeks of pay, SCC might be quicker (?)In fact, I don't know why the employee decided small claims court was the way to go. Should have gone to the DLSE
that would be two MONTHS. I don't know how much the guy got paid but two months of my pay (and I don't really make that much) wouldn't fit in Cali small claims court.For two weeks of pay, SCC might be quicker (?)
EE could earn up to $22.30 per hour (assuming 40 hours per week, 4.2 weeks per month) and still be under the $7,500.00 SCC limit in CAthat would be two MONTHS.

2 months of my pay wouldn't fit the small claims limit, either. We'll also have to assume that he's never sued anyone else in SC court for an amount that exceeded $2500. If he did that twice, then he would only be limited to $2500.EE could earn up to $22.30 per hour (assuming 40 hours per week, 4.2 weeks per month) and still be under the $7,500.00 SCC limit in CA
(But yes, two months, not two weeks )
2 months for me exceeds the limit also...2 months of my pay wouldn't fit the small claims limit, either. We'll also have to assume that he's never sued anyone else in SC court for an amount that exceeded $2500. If he did that twice, then he would only be limited to $2500.
