Hey everyone, I recently resigned from my job last month. I left on good terms, and put in my two weeks notice. However when I received my final paycheck it was short by about 800-900 dollars. I called my former manager to let him know of the discrepancy. He told me they have all my hours from that pay period registered, including the 9 hours from my final day. The number of hours is around 90. Which is correct. However, he said he couldn’t find my paystub to see what went wrong since I’m “no longer in the system” from resigning. I told him that my paycheck is obviously short given my pay rate and hours worked. I told him the amount deposited in my account.
My former manager said he didn’t know what to do, and that basically he can’t help me. He also tried to question if my “math was right” regarding the amount deposited into my account. He knows my pay rate, and the hours worked for those weeks… it doesn’t take a genius to realize that I was shorted.
He further told me that there’s another payout coming to me for unused PTO in about a week (about 12 hours). I told my former manager I will wait until then to see if the rest of the money comes in.
Question is, what can I do to claim my unpaid wages?
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
