If your employer continues to refuse to pay, your remedy is either in court or before the California Labor Commission. Because this is your final pay check, you are entitled to penalties pursuant to California Labor Code Section 203. Best of luck to you.

Contact the California Labor Commission. They should enforce your employer's obligation to pay your wages.
