What to do if my employer has misappropriated funds?
I have several issues that I need guidance on, all stemming from the same employer. Twice this year the employer has taken retirement fund contributions from my check but not passed them. Only when lack of deposits were spotted in my account and the issue was addressed by me did the funds get sent to the plan supervisor. In both instances it took more than 90 days for the funds to reach my account. Also, regarding short-term disability, it comes out of my check but my employer did not pay the insurance premium so my coverage lapsed. Finally, my employer is a manager of a non-profit which receives state funding and the consensus is that employer is embezzling funds. Not sure how to get proof.

If you believe that your employer is misappropriating funds due you and other employees or are actually owned by you and others, you need to make an appointment with a representative with the local department department of labor and/or a labor attorney.
It is imperative to get this issue brought to the attention of third parties sooner rather than later before the assets are lost and cannot be retrieved.
