At least 100 Heller Ehrman employees were laid off on Friday, without receiving the 60 days’ wages required by federal law or accrued vacation due under California law, leaving even those remaining expressing confusion and concern.

The e-mails did not address whether employees would be paid for accrued vacation or other wages owed to them under federal law.
