Person works for the airline industry and is being let go as part of airline cutbacks.
Yes, sadly, having an ongoing workers comp claim is no guarantee that you won't be laid off. That said, if the person with the open claim is the ONLY ONE laid off, that is likely a violation of Labor Code 132a. But you have to prove the true reason you were let go was the employer... Read more »

Your exclusive remedy is workers compensation. File a claim with your employer's workers compensation carrier.

Another good reason you should retain a lawyer.
my husband is retired

Hi. I would wait to hear what payroll, HR, and management say. Does missing that portion of your pay put you below the minimum wage? Is the check for any overtime you worked during the pay period? If so, you may have a claim. But I would try to resolve this internally since you are still working... Read more »

If your former employer is really considering filing for BK, the quicker you get the money in your bank, the better off you will be.
