Answer to Unpaid severence balance and broken agreement
severance agreementsYou can continue to bug your former employer or you can retain counsel to send a demand letter to your former employer to hopefully speed up the proces or you can file a small claims lawsuit. If you do so you are entitled to attorneys fees. you may also be entitled to the unpaid vacation if your severance agreement did not release yoru employer of having to pay those amounts. Would have to see terms of the severance agreement. Feel free to call my office with any questions.
