What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I am a Nurse and was laid off here in California on Friday 1/13/2017. We were represented by Union, SEIU Local 2015. The employer paid final check on same day but failed to include in my check the 1 week severance amount. I telephoned the GM today, Monday 1/16 and left a message stating that my 1 week severance amount was not included in my check. Am I entitled to levy a penalty against employer if they fail to pay me "all" monies within 72 hours of lay-off? How do I go about asking them for the penalty amount for each day they fail to pay me my promised severance amount?
