More details to this question:
Can a former employer harass a former employee with bible quotes instead of answering why I am not paid? For 4 months I asked for my employer to pay me my commissions. He ignored and lied to me for months. I turned him in to labor board and after many private meetings one of his managers said after asking for my pay check once again said my tone is a fire able a fence. I said am I being fired. No comment was said for I clocked it 5 minutes just a stair down. After waiting 5 minutes I said okay. I am taking this as you firing me. I am filing unemployment and going down to the labor board yet again to add this to the complaint as well as filing for unemployment. No comment was stated after that. I waited 2 minutes and stood up said I’ll expect my pay check today but I believe by law its 72 hours. Then next day I received my vacation hrs of work but no commission. These guys have altered so many papers and documents that I can prove now send me emails of bible quotes when asking for my paycheck. They also keep ask me for my personal property that I paid for as work product. It is not company property it belongs to be and I am at the point that they harassed me for 4 months allowing employees to call me names steal my sales and harass me. I documented this as well as have emails from people saying that they harassed me and my boss never did anything about it. What should I do? I also know my employer is paying people under the table. Not taxation on goods that he sends to Mexico and alters paper work illegally. I also know he has false sold items of goods that I ordered from one company and swapped it for other company goods without the customers knowing by removing tags or sanding off logos. Before being fired he sent me emails accusing me of going to sue him. I also said I don't have to pay for other employees mistakes. He made promises and never followed through as well as altered records and when questioned plays I don't recall.
