I had covid but I didn't call in so I was terminated for no call no show on 7/26. I contacted my ex employer and was told that I could pick up my check on 8/1 or it would be mailed to me. Isn't there a 72 hour law that the employer must abide by

For each day the employer is late, you are entitled to 1 days wages as a penalty up to a max of 30 days. The statute of limitations for waiting... View More

If it is a crime you are alleging she committed, then you can certainly contact the police and make a report; it's likely they will say this is a family / civil matter and stay out of it.
Is there a current PPO? You need to file an objection and have a hearing about that. Until then,... View More
