theseawoof's journey

I'm currently in a tough situation with my job at a Canadian company that recently opened a location in California. It seems like I'm about to get laid off, as I've been tasked with closing up shop while everyone else in California has already been let go. They haven't communicated anything directly to me, which is frustrating. I'm just following orders to ship items back, but it's clear that they're shutting down operations here. I'm worried about my final paycheck and the four weeks of unpaid PTO that I'm owed. As I prepare to send off the last shipment, I'm anxious that once it's gone, they might decide not to pay me for my last hours worked or my PTO. I've noticed that this company has a tendency to bend the rules, and since they won't have a presence in the US anymore, I'm concerned they might ignore their legal obligations. I feel like I have no clear path to pursue them for what I'm owed if they decide to withhold payment. I’ve considered the possibility of going public with my experience to pressure them into paying, but I’d rather avoid that route if possible. This PTO was a significant part of my salary negotiations, and not receiving it would have a major impact on my finances. I'm just trying to figure out what steps I can take to protect myself in this situation.
