What can you do if you’re not getting ot getting paid on time?

My dad a 63 year old citizen, has been working for this guy for more than 20 years. He paints houses. He works for him on and off. He calls him whenever he needs him for a job. I have no idea why my dad keeps working for him, since every time he does,this guy always pays him late and his checks always bounce. There are always problems. Well, this time my dad worked 93 hours, and he has been calling him and asking him to pay him and he has no return his calls and on top of that he still owes him $620 from the job before that. I even tried calling him and asking him to please pay him, no luck.Also, he needs to give him the form for the taxes and he has not mail it out either.

Your dad can sue his employer for breach of contract / account stated.
Your dad's damages (monetary compensation he is seeking in his lawsuit) would be the amount he is owed.  The lawsuit can be filed in small claims court.  Upon prevailing in the case, your dad can also recover court costs which include the court filing fee and process server fee.
