What is the name of your state? Texas
My boss called me and tried to get rid of me over the phone, believe it or not. I told him we really needed to meet. When we met the next day, he said he felt it was time to "sever the relationship." When I asked him why, he gave no definitive reasons at all. In fact, when I checked that morning, our numbers were holding steady even though we had lost some business due to no fault of our company. I had brought 18 new contracts, etc, etc. Bottom line, is that he wanted to sever the relationship and had no reasons to do so. I told him that if that was what he intended to do that I would like to work until the end of the month which would have been Friday, August 26, 2005. At this point, he believed that I was agreeing to go without further problem. But later, when the Personnel Dir. told me that he had heard that I was quitting, I told him that was not true. I told him my boss was terminating m. He was really shocked, and then I told him that my boss and I had agreed that I would work til the end of the month, which was the 26th. When word got back to my boss, I suppose he didn't like that I was saying terminated instead of quitting. But I told him in our last conversation that he had initiated the meeting, he wanted me out, and that I had never and would never quit my job and needed a letter of termination which I never got. Long story short, he only paid me up to the 19th of August, not the 26th. I have proof that I worked that final week of August. I have an email that I sent to him and CC'd myself on, dated the 26th, which gave him updates on two contracts and what I had done to secure those in that final week of work. What do I do??? I can't afford and attorney. Do I take this to the state labor board? If so, what do I file? What kind of illegal action do I cite?
