So my wife was fired from her job earlier this month. This was after they told he they wanted to fire her in December but it was too busy, a few days before her paid vacation, and a few weeks before a company wide 2-3 dollar raise. They began actively harassing her and very obviously discriminating/microaggressing on her after she came out publicly in early 2022. They have been withholding her final check. https://www.twc.texas.gov/news/efte/final_pay.html According to this, she should have had her check within 6 days, but it is 17 days with no check. They said when she was fired all her information was instantly wiped from the system so they couldn't do direct deposit. we went to her job in person, and they said it would be mailed out within 10 days by the 31st, but the math for the date they gave us wasn't matching it… And still no check as of today. 17 days.
We are going to end up homeless. We don't know what to do. Do we have a possible legal case against this company? How do we even start with this?
