Missing Final Paycheck

Today is June 6, 2025—the date listed in their own separation form as the day I would receive my final paycheck. As of this morning, there is still nothing in my bank account, and no pending deposit as there usually is the day before. This paycheck has not arrived.

For context, my pay has always been reliably deposited by this time on payday. The company made it clear in writing when I would receive my last check, yet they’ve failed to follow through.

This is more than just a delay—it’s a broken agreement, and it’s wage withholding.

 It speaks volumes about how they treat employees who stand up for themselves. They’ve manipulated my digital access, re-locked my Paylocity account multiple times (three times yesterday), and now, they’ve withheld my final paycheck on the very day they themselves promised it.

If this can happen to me, it can happen to others. 

This isn’t just retaliation—it’s wage theft.

This Is How They Responded

Not long after I raised this serious concern, I was called into a Google meeting with my direct supervisor and a high-ranking administrator.  But the issue I had flagged? They didn't even mention it.  I had to bring it up myself- calmly, professionally. They showed no intention of addressing it. Instead, the conversation quickly turned towards me. I was told that I appeared "unempathetic" and "unapproachable"- not to them, but to my students. No names. No specific examples. Just a vague criticism, dropped like a warning. I responded clearly, "My students reviews speak for themselves "  And in that moment, they backed off. The tone shifted. The accusation didn't hold- because it couldn't.  When I attempted to explain what had been happening with the two students in question- facts I had written down- they interrupted me. I wasn't angry or emotional. I was prepared. They didn't want to hear it. My supervisor then added something else: tha...

The Truth Will Not Be Silenced

Image
The article went live. It named the company. It told the truth. And just like that — it was gone. WNY News Now published a professional, factual piece about what happened to me at Venture Forthe. It exposed how I was given a sex toy to use in a medical training class, how I objected, and how I was retaliated against until I had no choice but to leave. The article explained my story clearly — and it showed the public what I’ve been saying all along. It was up long enough to be seen, shared, reacted to, and commented on. And then, without warning, it disappeared. No explanation. No correction. Just wiped from the site. But here’s the thing: removing the article won’t erase what happened to me. They might be able to silence one post, but they can’t silence me . I’ve documented everything. I have screenshots. Timelines. Emails. I’ve filed complaints. I’ve kept records. I’ve told the truth from day one. And I’m not backing down. I’m not waiting for anyone else to speak for me. I’ll ke...

Retaliation Continues as I Attempt to Record the Past

This morning  I sat down to continue my timeline. Specifically, a black-out incident that occurred earlier in April.  Instead,  I encountered something new... I logged into my Paylocity account to check my recent pay stub and was met with a red message: "Account is Inactive." No notice. No explanation. No alternative access provided. I haven't received a termination letter, and I constructively discharged myself on 5/22/25, after months of retaliation. Regardless of how employment ends, employers are legally required to provide access to wage records and tax documentation.  I immediately sent a formal request to HR with a screenshot of the lockout. I was just trying to continue telling my story. But this story keeps writing itself. --K
