Yes. Since you gave over 72 hours' notice, your final check, including earned and unused vacation or PTO was due on your last day. Because you have not received it yet, you are owed one day's pay for each day you have to wait - up to 30 days and the law requires your employer to pay your attorney. Call an employment law attorney to discuss.

Yes. File a claim with the state labor standards enforcement agency: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/howtofilewageclaim.htm If you gave notice, your last check was due the last day you worked. Your employer owes you a day's pay for every day your last check is not paid, up to 30 days.
