Non-payment of promised severance pay
My former employer promised us 2 weeks severance pay on the date of our termination (August 15, 2003). To date, this severance has not been paid. In e-mails he claims they are working on it. Do we have any recourse?

In writing?
If the promise is in writing, you may be able to get the Texas Workforce Commission to help you on the collection. Call them and ask for their assistance.

severance
if the promise can be construed as a contract, you can sue for breach of contract. It is also possible there may be an ERISA claim as well. I suggest seeking a local attorney to assist you.
