My 16-year-old son has worked part-time for a local Fresh Choice supermarket for the last 18 months. Last week (for some unknown reason he won't divulge) he decided to jack in the job, and handed back his uniform.
His normal pay-day is a Wednesday, and his average wage is about $70. However, he had worked a considerable amount of overtime the week previous, and was due to pick up about $200. No wages have been paid. He has asked his direct manager why this is, and he has told my son to speak to the Franchise owner who occassionally visist the store (so far my son hasn't been able to speak to her). He spoke to a duty-manager today, who has told my son that he won't get any wages as he didn't work 2 weeks notice.
1) Is this right about witholding the notice period wages?
2)Would they still have to pay my son the holiday money he has accrued?
Cheers,
John
