  1. When To Expect Final Paycheck And Other Benefits After A Layoff In California?

  2. If you have lost your job in a layoff or plant closing, you are most likely worried about not receiving your final paycheck, severance pay, and other benefits. On top of that, the thought of having to find a new job is probably so overwhelming that you want to drop everything and catch a flight to some Caribbean island. But do not pack your things to go to that Caribbean island just yet. It’s time to learn about your legal rights in a layoff because you wouldn’t want to be left without your final paycheck and other benefits, would you?

  3. WHEN SHOULD YOU EXPECT YOUR FINAL PAYCHECK AFTER A LAYOFF? Los Angeles wrongful termination lawyers from The Kaufman Law Firm says that in California, employees who are fired should receive their final paycheck immediately. On the other hand, if an employee quits voluntarily, he or she must receive his/her final paycheck within 72 hours, or immediately if the employee has given at least 72 hours’ notice. Like many other states, California requires employers to include a laid-off employees accrued vacation time – but not sick time – in his or her final paycheck after a layoff or plant closing.

  4. ARE YOU ENTITLED TO RECEIVE SEVERANCE PAY AFTER A LAYOFF? Normally, California employers are not legally required to provide their laid-off employees with severance pay. Nonetheless, employers in California are required to pay out severance packages when they have contractually agreed or promised to do so. The experienced wrongful termination attorney in Los Angeles explains that you are only entitled to receive severance pay if there is a written contract promising severance in the event of a layoff, firing, or leaving work voluntarily. However, there are exceptions to this general rule.

  5. Even when your employer has not promised to pay severance in a written contract, you may still be entitled to receive severance if: 1. Your employer promised severance pay in an employee handbook 2. There is an established practice of paying severance to employees or 3. Your employer has paid out severance to every other employee laid off in the past

  6. CAN YOU CONTINUE RECEIVING HEALTH BENEFITS AFTER THE LAYOFF? Just because you were laid off does not necessarily mean that you will automatically stop receiving health insurance coverage through your employer. Under California law, you have a legal right to continue receiving health insurance benefits for at least 18 months after the layoff.

  7. If you have been laid off or lost your job due to a plant closing but have not received severance pay or your final paycheck or there was an unreasonable and unjustified delay, kindly speak to Los Angeles wrongful termination attorneys from The Kaufman Law Firm.
