Oh! And I would imagine the penalty so far already exceeds the amount of unpaid PTO since even someone owed only a few hours of unpaid PTO is already entitled to their full wages from their final day until now.
And the penalty continues to accrue.</description>

If indeed Mickey is Benny I would like to point out that under Labor Code 203 there is a penalty for not paying the earned PTO equal to continued wages for as long as it takes to pay off the PTO. California considers earned PTO as earned wages so HCCA will owe as a penalty full wages for employees that have unpaid PTO untill such time as they pay them. Seems to me sueing for the contract termination fee is futile if you have to just turn around and hand it all back to your former employees as unpaid wages.</description>

		<description>MIckey, why don&#039;t you explain all of the creditors you didn&#039;t pay or PTO to the employees that wasn&#039;t paid or providing COBRA health coverage to the employees.    
You are truly pathetic. Quit hiding behind a phony name.</description>
