Yes! You can try waiting, but if they find the error, you will have to repay them. If they really don't like you, they could claim you commited fraud to get the money.

Do not bring it up unless asked.\n\nYour former employer BY LAW is only allowed to verify the dates of employment, position and compensation....that is LAW.\n\nHowever....some employers will take liberties and attempt to blacken your name.\n\nHave a friend call your former employer under the guise of a hiring manager for XYZ company...and have them ask about your employment etc. You will then have a heads up on the type of answer/reference your former boss is handing out to the people calling in. It is better to know up front than not at all...\n\nBest of Luck.\nBTW...take the lesson learned from your experience and avoid making the same mistake at your next place of employment.

You question makes no sense as written. I THINK are you trying to aske if any employer with withhold your wages if a customer fails to pay or the employer's services.  In California, the answer would be no and the I suspect the law is probably the same is most, if not all of the other states.

As a former employer I believe it is.\n\nReferences are intended to be truthful accounts of an individual's actions and suitability for a job and the system breaks down if a former employer fails to report to another potential employer as accurately as possible.\n\nMost employers (and the law) regard false applications as a serious matter (hardly surprising, considering that they base their decisions on them) and, whatever the person's record on the job, simply having obtained that job by \nmaking a false application is usually treated as gross misconduct, justifying instant dismissal; an attitude upheld by at least two industrial tribunals to my certain knowledge.\n\nIt might not seem fair to you or your acquaintance, but it is legal.

Ordinarily not.  However, as the other answer indicates, if the item is employment-related, then the reimbursement may be compensation.  You need to provide more information:  What is the nature of the item being reumbursed, and what are the circumstances for its reimbursement?

Absolutely! its written in the law. Even if you are still working there, at anytime, you can ask to see your employee file from Human Resources, and ask for corrections from any mistakes. They cannot fire you because you wanted to see your file. If they do, contact a lawyer. Good Luck.

You can ask in the Law & Ethics section of this forum. You can speak with an attorney. You can approach the wage and labour authority in your area. You can also approach your local unemployment office.

The technical answer is yes.  Your former employer should have reflected the amount of the severance payment that is subject to VA withholding tax.  However, employers typically look to the resident of the recipient under these circumstances - completely erroneous.  What should you do if no VA tax was withheld?  Absolutely nothing.  The state will take the position that the employer (not the recipient) had the fiduciary responsibility of withholding income tax and go after the employer for the liability.

I worked for a place that direct deposited my checks.  They were required to give us all paystubs.  I know they were required to do so because they were so cheap they squeaked when they walked.  They would never have spent the extra money for stubs if they weren't required to do so.  But...check with a lawyer to be sure.  It might be different in your state, this was in Colorado.

It depends on how much hassle you want to go through. If you are worried about future job references,legally all an employer can say is when you worked and what your wage was. It doesn't matter what is written down. I'm not sure if you can file a grievance as an ex-employee but your work should have some system to deal with termination disputes. You have to decide what you hope to get out of your grievance and whether it would be worth your time.

Your last wages due should be available to you on the next scheduled pay day. If not, you can file a complaint with MESC. But as soon as they get the complaint, you will probably be paid and they may say it was lost in the mail and there is no action taken on the employer.

You may have to pay them back for the training, but probably not for the salary. You need to check the state labor laws regarding such things. I know you signed a contract, but not all things signed are legal according to state law. If it violates state law to ask for salary already paid, then they dont have a leg to stand on.

I would say it means that you prevailed in your wage claim because your former employer did not respond to the court and made no defense (that's the "default" part).  The next part "respondent is entitled to vacate ..." appears to be notice to your former employer that it has only fifteen days to file a "request to vacate the default".  That is the former employer has only a fifteen day window to come into court and give a reason why it hadn't responded the first time. If it has a good reason, the court Will vacate the default, that is revoke the default and have the matter set for hearing.\n\nIt is common to give a respondent or defendant a window to come in and explain why it hadn't responded.  Fifteen days is quite short, in California a defendant may have up to six months.

Complain to the local labor enforcement agency. It's usually listed under the State Government in the phone book. But you should have that wage promise in writing. Otherwise they can deny they ever made the promise. You might try emailing your boss to ask about it and then getting a documented response from him. Anything they say that indicates there was a verbal agreement could be used against them. That's why you should send an email. If he responds verbally, then send him an email that summarizes what he said. "Thanks for answering my question today in your office. I understand that I will be getting $X per hour starting next week. Please let me know if I misunderstood."

You have to have worked for 6 months and have been laid off. If you quit, you won't get it. If you where fired , they can dispute it.

Technically you would be in breach of contract however as nothing in writing there is very little employer could do. Employer would have to prove they had suffered financial loss and wouldn't really be worth the effort to contest

Check stubs, W-2s, or signed letter from you former boss on letterhead if possible.  If you got paid under the table and got fired under poor circumstances.... then it will be difficult to prove.
