I got a new job and was asked to start much sooner than expected. I notified my employer on 1/26 and they took that as my immediate resignation. No big deal because I only had a couple days before starting my new job. I was told I would receive my final paycheck on 1/28. It is now 72 hours past my resignation date and I have not received payment.
I contacted my ex-management about this and at first I was told there was nothing they could do and “it’s out of my control”. I have contacted multiple departments regarding this and all have been silent. I warned my manager that if they can’t update me on my final paycheck I would have to file a claim against them. The response I got back was “do what ever you deem appropriate”.
I have filed an unpaid wage claim against them and now I wait. What should I expect? Probability of success? Tips/things I should know?
For context this is in California.
