[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would take them to Small Claims Court and also report them to local Wage and Labor Board.  They owe you money.[/quote]

Small claims court might help if the facts are as presented. I wouldn't bother with wage and labor board. You are missing OT or no payment for hours you actually worked. This is a contractual issue about benefits (PTO, guaranteed hours, and notice)[/quote]
Why are you giving her bad advice? Definitely Wage and Labor Board, OP. They'll help you.[/quote]

I'm not the one giving bad advice. Here's a link to the wage and labor board faq:

Note: they only deal with flsa violations (basically minimum wage, pay for hours worked, and OT violations)
They specifically do not deal with sick pay, notice, benefits, or severance.[/quote]

20.10 here.  Exactly, skip Wage and Labor.  You didn't work the two days that you were guaranteed in the contract, and Wage/Labor won't be able to do anything about notice period not paid out as severance.  When you serve them with papers for small claims, they may decide to call you-- text or email only.  You have to have written proof of everything said.  They may decide that they don't want to deal with small claims and just pay you, but on the other hand you might have to have their wages garnished (BTDT, pain in the neck, but it gets the money you're owed).  Good luck, OP![/quote]
