I was the marketing lead and graphic designer for two years for a small independent bookstore in Utah (USA). I was an hourly employee.
I never signed any contracts when getting hired or throughout my time there.
I quit yesterday because my boss is a snake woman who I couldn’t justify abuse from anymore. Before I left, I put all my graphic design files on a flash drive and cleared everything from my work computer.
Ex boss just sent a text that she’s withholding my last paycheck until I send her everything. What are my rights as a graphic designer here? Are the files mine, or does she have rights to them since I made them while working for the company?
