<prompt> Human: Hi,I read this sub all the time, now time to finally make my first post. I recently left my previous employer to start my own business. Before I left the company its a fairly large corporation, they said I would receive a final paycheck with any accrued vacation days worth of backpay and any cash funds remaining in my employers stock purchase plan that I had laying around for the next round of share purchasing. I never received this deposit, even though, in my exit interview I was promised so.Ive been trying to get in touch with the HR department but after a few emails and follow up attempts, I havent been able to do. I believe theyre dodging my emails. So my question is, what can I do about this? I know Im owed this money, but Im not sure how to go about this. Its probably 1k or so, which would go a long way to helping out my business and giving me some more runway.Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Assistant: Where are you located?Human: ConnecticutAssistant: Give then one more chance then you can file a wage complaintHuman: If hes already attempted to contact the company and they arent responding, OP has already given his former employer one more chance.Assistant: Some have suggested that I try certified mail, Im going to try that first.  <response>: Certified mail doesnt generally do it in most states. You need to physically show and try to collect first.File a wage claim. One of the specific claims to file is for not receiving a last paycheck. A lot of times you can get a daily fine added on also.
