Q: in CA a I got an assignment from a temp agency completed my first day. Terminated on the third day. Only paid for 3 hors
I let them know about the time and they said they have to wait for the contractor to approve the time. Now it's approved they said there paying me next week. I guess the question is this lawful? I thought you were supposed to get paid when being temanated
A:
The California Labor Code requires your employer to pay your final paycheck on the day you are terminated. The question will be who your employer is. If you are an employee of the temp agency, being paid by it, you were not terminated. If you were an employee of the customer and that company terminated you, then you were entitled to your final pay on the day of termination.
Good luck to you.
