DOES YOUR FORMER EMPLOYER STILL OWE YOU WAGES? ORANGE COUNTY JUDGE RULES YOU SHOULD RECEIVE YOUR SALARY AT THE TIME OF TERMINATION.
In a recent Orange County, California case, an OC judge ruled that if you are not paid all your wages owed at the time of your termination, or if you quit and are not paid all the wages you are owed within 72 hours of departure, you may be entitled to Waiting Time Penalties. Waiting Time Penalties represent up to thirty days of wages. These 30 days of wages represent thirty individual days of wages, not one month's pay. Does your former employer owe you Waiting Time Penalties? An experienced employment lawyer can make sure you receive the Waiting Time Penalties compensation you deserve.
The right to the waiting time penalty is self-executing, meaning that as a former employee you are not required to do anything affirmative — "take action" — in order to be entitled to the continuing right to wages. The waiting time penalty is immediately due and payable to you, the employee. If your employer did not pay you all the wages owed to you when you left the company, an employment attorney might be able to help you recover in restitution and receive compensation for your lost wages.
