Ok... so here's the deal... I have been working at the same place for 4 years, and was pretty high up in the company (tech manager, programmer, QA). My boss was a prick...

So, when I got offered another job, I accepted the offer. On January 20th, I went into my boss' office at the end of the day and told him that I was giving my 2 weeks notice. He said, and I quote, "give me your office keys and don't come back on monday". He said he could not trust that I wouldn't delete important source code and components off the server, so I had to not come back.

I am a very trustworthy and nice person, and after 4 years, I couldn't believe he would think I would do something like this.

Well, after I left, he called the other partial owner of the company and then called me on my cell. He said that they were really sad to see me go, but they would go ahead and pay me through the end of the pay period - Jan 31st. He said to keep in touch and wished me luck.

So, my paycheck comes, and it was short $1000. He only paid me through the 20th.

Do I have any way to get the money that he verbally said he'd pay me? Since I was really "terminated", could I also get my pay from unpaid vacation days?

I didn't start my new job until Jan 29th, when I could have started on the 23rd, because I thought I would get my full paycheck, so I'm short on money because of this and a took a few days off before the new job...
