Hi!
I live in California. It's been about 7 months since I was initially laid off by my employer. I was a W2 and asked for my vacation pay for a month and a half before finally being paid. I have since worked for them on other projects at lower rate, simply because I couldn't refuse any work as long as I was on employment. Now I can't go back on unemployment because I worked for them as 1099.
I just found out about the penalty employers have to pay if they don't pay your vacation pay the day you leave. I was wondering if that is still valid in my case. Can I still collect that penalty even though they paid my vacation pay and I've agreed to work for them again?
Thanks for your help!
