<prompt> Human: So I have this friend that very briefly worked at Papa Ginos. I think he only worked a total of 40 hours or so. Anyways, one day he just stops showing up for work. He texts a manager that hes not going to show up any more. The manager tries calling him several times but he doesnt pick up. He now wants the money for the hours that he worked. Is he still able to collect that money?  <response>: Yes. First he should contact the employer and let them know he wants to come in and pick up the check or where they should mail it. Sounds like the manager was trying to pay him.If for whatever reason theyre unresponsive, the friend can file a wage claim with the state labor agency.
