Well, there is not much you can do as you left within the probation period. The probation period is for the employer and the employee, but it is still a pre-agreement.

You should have finished the probation period, even though you informed them already.

I wish you the money, but looking from the company’s point of view, you can understand. And I think they are legally allowed.

Hi there,

i live in Austin Texas and I worked for 5 days at a very disorganized work place. It was not the right fit for me and I told them so in a very polite way. I gave notice and did not give two weeks because I had just been there 5 days. They never paid me for my five days of work is this allowed? What can I do? Thanks in advance for your advice.
