   You’ve asked this question three times. The answer is still NO. They only owe for hours worked.

   That all depends on the company’s policies. Those policies should be stated in the employee handbook. They owe you for the hours you worked up to your termination. They **may** owe you for any unused, earned vacation. Beyond that, many companies do have severence allownaces based on length of employment. All of this would be spelled out in the employee handbook.

   In the state of California, you are due your final pay on the final day you worked. So, if you were given your final pay for the final two weeks you’ve worked (on your last day), then you are fine. If not, then yes, you have some funds due to you. You need to really do your math. With money, you either have it coming, or your don’t. There is not middle ground. If you have money owed and have not been paid, you can contact the State Labor Board. This route guarantees you your daily rate for every day that has passed without receipt of your final check. Its the law.

   No. You resigned, they chose to make it effective immediately. This is known as employment at will. It means you can quit whenever you want to (which you did), and they can terminate you whenever they want to (which they did). Severance pay only comes into play only if you are laid off by the company. Some companies will give you 2 weeks of pay in lieu of notice, but it is not required.
