MN-Termination and Pay

[ogiltorp]

The company I used to work for delays pay by two weeks. They pay weekly, after this delay. I was terminated at the end of last week and am owed two weeks pay. The normal payday was today and my check is normally autodeposited. However, no deposit was made and no check arrived. When I contacted my ex-employer, they indicated that they weren't certain when I would receive the check that was due today, or the remaining one weeks pay. They said that could be delayed another week.

Does MN provide a timeframe for when I should be paid for these two weeks? I do not have any company assests and they have given no reason for withholding this pay.

Actually, in your state you're supposed to get your final check immediately. You can file a complaint with the state DOL.

i am in a similar situation. however, i worked for a company as a sales rep. my term date was April 3. I received a paycheck through April 1, but nothing since. To date, I also haven't received reimbursement for business related expenses. Are these reimbursal checks held to the same standard paycheck standards? I have sent a letter certified mail requesting these funds to be reimbursed to me. Is there anything more I can do? And is this situation grounds for filing a complaint with the DOL? Finally, what happens when you do file a complaint with the DOL?

If you quit, the answer is different. You must be paid:

by the next regular payday; if that payday is less than 5 days after the final workday, then by second payday, but no more than 20 days after your final work day.

And expenses are not covered by employment law. Only one state I know of (California) requires employers to reimburse employees for business-related expenses. Yours does not.
