I have a question about a company that I had worked for where I wasn't
paid my second to a last check with no severence pay....the amount was
about $800 and I have called the company repeatedly to try to find out
about it...what is the best recourse legally to get this money. I
live in the state of Florida....is the Department of Labor people to
contact or is small claims court a better option. It's kind of a
sticky situation because they might hire me back and end up paying me
if I can finally reach somebody.
In Texas, if you are not paid *wages*, you file a wage claim with
the Texas Workforce Commission. They don't, however, do severance
pay, pay for accumulated vacation time, golden parachutes, etc. I
presume Florida does something similar. You could at least ask.
You will have to evaluate the tradeoffs of pissing them off vs.
getting more work with them.
