If you were fired and your boss had something against you, would he lie about mailing your paycheck??

Question

Ok. On August 6th, I was terminated simply for taking my girlfriend to the emergency room, who had an anemic attack and ended up in the hospital for 8 days, I nearly lost my mind. She's back to normal now though. I gave the job 12 hours notice ahead of time that I wouldn't come in.

On August 9th, we went there to collect my paycheck, the boss withheld it because he wanted to speak to me in his office. However, there was nothing to speak about because he said all he had to say during our prior conversation about being terminated, so I refused to speak with him and he said he will mail the paycheck.

It's now August 28th, I haven't received anything. And I don't wanna call him because I hate his guts and I don't wanna speak to him, firing me for a stupid reason is not the only crazy thing he's done to me, he's been talking about me in disrespectful ways behind my back ever since I started there. I called H.R. and they said they will contact him. What would you do in this situation?

Answer 1

Lie , lost in the mail , whatever the cause . . .
If you do not get it , contact your old HR / payroll .
If the company was so small that your boss was HR / payroll ,
Then contact your state labor board .
They will collect the check for you .
