Hi, /r/legaladvice
I briefly worked at this locally-owned dog daycare (15 employees or so) in California. I could not stand the boss at all because of her micromanagement tactics and overall extremely controlling/negative behavior, so I put in a 3-week notice in March. My last day would be the 3rd.
On the 2nd, she cancelled my shifts via the notification app for the 2nd and 3rd but did not contact me. I did not come in to either shift, but called twice after not receiving my last check (I normally got direct deposit). I never signed anything or received word that I would have to pick up a physical paper check.
I filed a wage claim after 10 days of no communication.
Today, she finally responded to me and sent me an email. This stuck out:
"I understand that you finally made contact to inquire regarding your last paycheck after leaving us in the lurch and breaking our equipment. You will need to return all company property if you want to pick up your last paycheck."
I did clerical work typing notes on a computer. I never had any complaints and there is zero way I broke anything. She is only now claiming this. I do not have any company property.
She is trying to hold my last paycheck hostage and not respond to the wage claim until I comply/respond to her completely false claims. Not sure how to proceed from here.
