Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
It's my understanding that California has pretty strict laws about firing people--especially when they're on leave for a Family Reason.
In any case, it's completely fucked up beyond reason.
And yes, they need to deliver a final paycheck within 24 hours. If not, she is considered an employee until they do.
North Beach will be sending ~ma - tonight will include seeing some of the people Aimee met when she visited, and I'll ask them to think of her & you, Joe.

But if it's a reorg instead of firing, it's legal.
There are lots of laws around re-org too. Unfortunately I am becoming all too familiar with this. However, my experience is for publicly held companies of over 100 employees. Private and smaller companies can get away with much, much more. :(
Unless I'm reading Joe's post wrong, it sounds like Aimee's boss wasn't firing her because of taking time for a funeral -- it sounds like he didn't even know she was in Michigan.
At the very least, if it's re-org, it means unemployment, which is actually a fairly decent $1800 a month in CA these days, assuming highest bracket.

Yup, most of these are cross-posted with that.
California is an "at will employment" state. They can fire you just because they no longer see the need to pay you, if they want.
They are required to provide final paycheck within, I believe, 72 hours. Which they are likely doing, as FedEx is, according to her former employer, to be delivering her stuff (including check) before 10 a.m. tomorrow.
I'm sorry for Aimee...she liked it there, they seemed to like her. It's a punch to the gut out of nowhere for her...we still don't know WHY. And the timing, while apparently coincidental, sucks giant boulders.
Whatever you have in mind, MM, gets all the support I have. Of course.

Correct. However, if it's indeed a "re-org", the laws are different. VERY different.
Anyway, you and Aimee both know I've got your back. I'm sorry about this mess.

It's an at-will State so there's a lot of discretion given to the company in firing. You can't fire somebody who's out on FMLA, but a bereavement leave wouldn't qualify.
