You have to wait until the company cuts checks (or whenever your pay period ends) and then the company will usually mail it.  It's pretty standard.  Most managers won't just cut you a check when you give your notice or on your last day.

I've assisted three different people (friends or relatives) with this same issue. The only difference is that they were resolved within one to two months of an employer refusing to pay them.\n\nThis is what I told them to do.\n1) Contact The Department of Labor and ask them for assistance (rules and laws) regarding how it is enforced in your state.\n*In Minnesota an employer not paying wages earned by an employer has severe penalties. This includes full payment within a given time period of reciept of notice. It also includes back wages for the duration of time they failed to pay you. So if you were in Minnesota the company would owe you X number of dollars for the entire time period from June until now. If you worked 40 hours per week, that would be 23 weeks worth of pay if they failed to pay you had you stopped working on June 1, 2006.\nThis can be negotiated and normally is, but legally you are entitled THAT amount of money due to their fault in not paying you in a timely fashion. By law (again, depending on which State) the employer owes you within a given time frame on you leaving. One week, two weeks... Whatever it is. So it could gain you earnings anywhere from 23 weeks, to a lesser number.\n\n2) Write a letter to the former employer stating what the law is and demand payment. Don't be mean, just clean, pure and simple. Per the law where you live,  calculate what you are owed and state it. Then show them the calculated total sum which includes penalties and late fees. (If it's $10.00/hour - based on a 40-hour work week, including the past 21 weeks [to be nice and earn favor with a Judge, subtract the first two weeks of them dragging their feet] and state they COULD owe you a minimum of $8,400.00 plus what they previously owed you). State that upon taking them to Court a Judge would decide in your favor for non payment of wages earned and they would also be responsible to pay for attorney's fees and Court fees. Remember, this is how it is in Minnesota so make darn sure you put in plain type the exact amounts owed to you per the law.\n\n4) After stating all the info above in the letter, my last paragraph included the following (minus the company name and dates):\n\nUnder Minnesota Statute 181.13, you are required to pay unpaid wages within 24 hours of receiving this letter.  Further delays will subject me to file a claim against (insert company name) per Minnesota Statute 181.14 Subdivision 2.  Penalties and fees will accrue upon receipt of this letter.  Failure to comply will constitute sending this letter to the organizations listed below on (state the day, date and year. Give them two days mail time.)\n\n4) At the bottom of your letter include the following info: (example)\n\nCc:\n(State) Department of Labor and Industry\nxxx  Road North\nCity, MN xxxxx\n\n(name of county) County Government Center\n(name of person you contacted), Court Administrator (Conciliation Court)\nxx Second Street NW\nCity, MN xxxxx\n\n(City name here) Chamber of Commerce\nPO Box xxx\nCity, MN zip code\n\nState the address for each place you are carbon copying! Make sure to include your name and address. No phone number.\n\nGood luck!

I think everyone here is on the right track.\n\nYou need to contact the local Labor board and check on them. You may be able to sue him for the pay, the lack of a 2 week notice before termination, and lack of a in writing letter of termination outlying the reasons. May want to talk to a lawyer and see what the rights are in your county to see what you are able to do from here.\n\nGood luck!

I believe you are talking about Notice Of Termination.\n\nExample "My employer gave me prior notice of my termination, as the company was in financial trouble."\n\nIt is often not required if a company is truly "Firing" someone for misconduct, but is often offered if it due to company circumstances.\n\nWhen the employee has left, but still gets paid, then the pay is called "severance pay".\n\nHope I helped.

they will bounce the check every week until you can pay it.  you should just call and make a agreement of some type of payment.  they would rather get some money than none.

The question still isn't easy to answer. Your best bet would be to contact a local attorney, or take the advise of the previous responder.\n\nBut the truth is, this is a free country and they can't make you do anything. The answer might be, however, do you want to continue to work for them and receive a paycheck?

e-mail (for written notification), but call first... most employers are sympathetic, but if they aren't you may need to contact HR - most companies will give you 3 days off with pay and if you need more, you can take leave.

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.

Federal labor laws do not require employers to reimburse ex-employees for vacation time they earn before quitting or being fired.  However, some states have such requirements.  Also, your employment contract may address this issue as well. I would do two things:\n1. Contact your state's employment division and find out if your state requires your employer to pay accrued vacation at the time of separation.\n2. Review your employment contract and company policies regarding this issue.  First, make sure they are following your state's laws, and second, make sure they follow their own policies/agreements.

Most states require payment within 30 days.\nBut it will likely be sooner if there's been no problems with the claim.

u go to the state employment department in the state in which you worked and file a complaint.  there are specific laws that require payment for services rendered by employees.

It depends on the state you live in, but most places it would be. You usually have to be paid for all the time you work. He could make you not work for 30 minutes, but if you actually work the 30 minutes, you need to be paid. If you tell us what your state, I could give a more detailed answer.\n\nEdit: It is definitely illegal. First, Nevada law says, "An employer shall pay to the employee wages for each hour the employee works." Further, it is illegal to "Pay a lower wage, salary or compensation to an employee than the amount earned by the employee when the work was performed." An employer can change the rate you are paid as a way to punish you, but that requires that they notify you in writing "Not less than 7 days before the employee performs any work at the decreased wage, salary or compensation." Finally, the employer can withold amounts for certain reasons like health insurance and such, but for any other reason, the employee has to voluntarily authorize the deduction in writing. Tell your boss all of this and ask for your back wages in writing. If he refuses, talk to a lawyer.\n\nEdit2: I forgot to add that the regulations specifically say "An employer may not use a blanket authorization that was made in advance by the employee to withhold any amount from the wages due the employee." The employee has to sign the authorization each time.

That may be unique to California (their kinda weird out there compared to the rest of the country any how) Federal wage and hour laws require (in most cases) that time and one half be payed for any more than 8 hours in any one day and over 40 hours in any week. Their are no requirements for an employer to pay double time, triple time etc. unless it is a part of some kind of contract (union or other wise) so you will have to check with your state's wage and hour board.

#1. how long did you work for this new job? if it was under three months, unemployment probably hasn't gotten your info yet. employers are only obligated to report quarterly. \n#2. over three months, do you have your pay stubs? were taxes deducted? did they make you fill out a W-4 form when you started working for them? - If "yes" go to the IRS and tell them the sittuation since you probably won't be getting a w2 from them at tax time either\n#3. call them and tell them that you want a record of your disciplinary actions such as write ups and repremands. If they refuse, got to the labor board and see what kind of troule you can cause for them there by finding an intake manager and telling your whole story again\n\n\ngood luck

To be honest, if I were you I won't go back to the old company because it didn't pay me on time, that's a very serious question. Like your old boss said so, he promised you to pay you on time if you come back, which means he actually had the ability to pay you on time but he didn't do it when you worked with him, see the point!! But afterall it's your own choice, if you feel like going back and like your old job better you can give it a try!!!

Every state's laws are different; and, every company's policies are different. In most cases if you are terminated you are entitled to receive the number of hours of accrued vacation. This must be paid with your final paycheck.
