    Font - I'm overall very confused and concerned about this development. left a bad job in 2021 because I was moving. I provided a resignation letter with two weeks notice to my boss. He was a rather negligent boss - I was injured on the job once and it took months to get Workers Comp paperwork - but I assumed he would do what was necessary to terminate my employment.

    Font - Well, apparently not, as just this week I received this correspondence from my former place of work. Mind you I have not visited, signed in, or done anything at my prior place of employment in nearly two years (because I physically was no longer in the area, and as far as I knew I had resigned). Does anyone know what the best course of action is in this scenario? I don't want to owe my prior place of employment anything, or have it on my record that I was fired for "job abandonment". Than

    Font - Eagle_Fang135 - 12h I am betting new HR or Finance person did an employee audit. They identified all "ghost employees" and terminated them for not being there (job abandonment) which is technically true, just not accurate. They probably have no record when/why the missing people left.

    Font - zurohki 11h ● We recently 'fired' a bunch of people, some of whom we'd actually fired twenty years ago. They'd been disabled in Payroll, but not actually terminated because we often have past employees come back weeks or months later and it was easier to just enable them again. I can confirm that this sort of thing happens. 940 ↓

    Font - LyleGreen0699. 11h Absolutely this. They might just have cleaned up and written some letters to make sure everything is in writing. Looks stupid, but they don't really care. You knew before it's a shit show. 108

    Font - Wyldfire2112. 13h I just had a message from my last job about owing them $500 for using more vacation than I accrued before I was fired for refusing to stop complaining about how they were fucking over the employees. I sent them a rather scathing reply back and got essentially "Oops, you're right, the money withheld from your final paycheck covers it all," in response.

    Handwriting - And this is a company big enough they have an entire department to handle payroll, so it's not like the payroll clerk had any personal investment in collecting or ability to pocket the money. They just didn't pay attention. 290

    Font - IAmDisciple Depending on the industry, there's a very good chance that they get zero hours vacation as an hourly employee. If they had a certain number of sick/PTO days/ hours, those usually aren't required to be paid out (depends on state) 14h ● 1.4k

    Font - PsychoNerd91. 6h Like another has said, seriously ask HR for info as of if they had still been paying you, and if they had than they should really investigate your old boss because you hadn't been paid since you resigned. Further, if they say they have been paying you, it could affect your taxes ask the IRS if there has been any discrepancies with your tax citing your reason above. (and sue your boss for fraud in the most extreme case, I guess.) ... 45

    Font - Goats_2022. 11h if the job is hourly then how can they claim that you abandoned the job when they did give you any work to do for these last 2 years. I would look at flipping the tables on them considering that they have caused you mental distress after you left the job 466
