My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California
I received a letter in the mail a week ago from my last place of employment stating that effective sometime last month that my employment with them had ended.
It also included information about health benefits and my 401k. Its been well over five months since I first turned in my letter of resignation and more than 4 months since I worked my last day for them.
I mentioned I found this all odd to a friend and he suggested I contact HR to have them cut me a check for penalties owed. He pointed out some ways the company was in violation but he isnt a lawyer and I didnt want to call HR, be in the wrong and make a fool of myself so I was hoping for some clarification before do. I hope this is enough info to go on. Sorry, I didnt want to post actual dates. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
