Question
Asked 348 days ago by a user from Decatur, GA
I just want some advice on a situation i'm currently going through with a job i just quit a week ago
To start this off I worked for this company for THREE YEARS and withen that time nothing has been wrong I got promoted to assistance manager and was told that I would get paid the salary that they are paid but it never happen on top of that. A few months down the line it happen on a tuesday where some money went missing and I didnt work on that day but when I come in on wednesday I am told that it's my fault that it went missing because I was there wednesday morning which that has nothing to do with me still. Now my last day working there was may 31 and I was calling them today to see when the checks come in because that is my last check from them. The manager tells me that there holding my check because of something that happen on wednesday when I was there now I made sure everything was right and nothing was wrong. They tell me I cant have my check now its a problem I just really would like to know what can I do. Can you please get back to me as soon as possible that would be great.

Hi,
Unless they can prove you took money from them they cannot hold your check. You can file a small claims action against them for which you do not need a lawyer. At least this way you can let the judge decide. You may also be able to apply for unemplyment benefts.
If formal charges are brought you should seek the help a criminal lawyer in your state.
All the best,
Frank
