Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: Final paycheck question;

No.

What legal action?

Re: Final paycheck question;

No. I am not sure what else is going on to lead you to this question, however, depositing due and owing wages (including hours worked, overtime, vacation, etc..) does not close the door on other possible legal claims. Furthermore, should you have signed a waiver of claims which included your right to your due and owing wages as listed above as one form of consideration (money paid to you for executing the waiver) then the waiver could be argued to be invalid.

I suggest you contact legal counsel to vent out the rest of your question.

Best of luck,

Re: Final paycheck question;

If you are owed wages, overtime pay, vacation pay, penalties, expenses you incurred on behalf of your employer or other compensation, cashing a "final" paycheck does not waive your rights to later legal claims.

If you wish to contact legal counsel other than those who have provided responses on this board, contact your local county Bar Association and ask for a referral to an attorney experienced in wage and hour laws.
