What can I do in a situation wherein my employer hasn't given my payroll for almost 6 months?
Question Details: And when he started giving my pay stubs, he shows less hours on it. I have all the proof. In addition, I am not the only person who has this issue, there are few more who have been treated the same. What should I do in this situation?
Legally, you must be paid for all hours worked; you must also be paid on a timely basis. Therefore, you have a legal claim against your employer for the unpaid payroll. You can either contact your state department of labor to file a complaint, or you can speak with an employment law attorney about possibly bringing a lawsuit. If there are several of you who have been treated the same, you should probably go see a lawyer together--you can jointly retain the attorney, to spread the cost, and a private lawyer will likely be able to act more quickly than the department of labor.
