<prompt> Human: I was terminated by my employer on Wednesday, March 2 and told that I would be receiving your final paycheck during the normal pay schedule ie Friday, March 11. According to CA Labor code sect. 201 227.3 An employee who is discharged must be paid all of his or her wages including accrued vacation immediately at time of termination. So I looked up what my options are: An employer who willfully fails to pay any wages due a terminated employee in the prescribed time frame may be assessed a waiting time penalty. Which evidently is an amount equal to the employees daily rate of pay for each day the wages remain unpaid.I have a few questions: I have no intention of bringing down the company because of my termination. I just would like to have my rights maintained and be adequately compensated if my employer didnt comply with state law and inconvenienced me by forcing me to wait for my final pay check. What can I do? EDIT: or not r  <response>: I would contact your HRpayroll rep, let them know about your concerns and gauge their reaction. If they dont pay immediately, with some form of penalty, Id put in a claim with the department of labor.
