FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The city of Fresno will be hosting a job fair to help former Bitwise employees, who were laid off earlier this week.
On Memorial Day, the Fresno-based tech company furloughed its entire staff, leaving weeks of uncertainty about the company's financial future.

But now, with the layoff, employees can officially move forward with a job hunt and file for unemployment.
Action News has learned that Bitwise stopped paying their employee insurance policies and had not been making 401K contributions since the end of March.
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Bitwise by former employees who say they were fired without proper notice and not given their owed wages.
