Thanks Greg and Albert. Now I play the waiting game and see what happens.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

hope it works out bill
all I could say would be document everything you can and hold onto everything you have from them

Isn't that what Unemployment was designed for?

:confused:

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

I literally worked there for like 9 days. I haven't looked into it but I'm really doubting I could collect. I worked 38 hours the first week, 30 hours the 2nd week and my final day was like 7.5 hours. That and I wasn't fired, I didn't quit......I just refused to work till I was paid and she refused to pay me. Kind of a stalemate there.

Although for the record I know nothing bout unemployment.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

That makes two of us...which is why I asked the question.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

Quick update, I got another check that cannot be cashed for the wrong amount a few days ago. She chose not to sign the "authorized signature" this time. It's now been 2 days short from 4 weeks, I have not received a dime. I seriously cannot understand how businesses that do this remain open.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

Bill, have you talked to the labor board yet? It's really sounding like you have more than enough valid reasons to get in touch with them over this.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

Yeah I've been talking to them for the past 2 weeks. Supposed to receive a call yesterday so I left a message today.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

Me? I woulda put some chicken scratch in the signature line. But that's me, and I AM a douchebag.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

That's only safe to do in Douchebagistan...

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

Yeah but again it's for like a third of the money owed to me just not worth it.

You may also be able to take them to small claims court. Do you have any proof that you worked there, ie time card, any related paperwork. Will any of the employees be willing to verify your employment with the bar?

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

My clock out slips and the schedule with my name on it.

As for the employees I don't know. Didn't really know them well.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

:tu

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

It believe its only a couple of bucks to file a suit in small claims court. Maybe that will get them to get off their butts and pay you, which will be less costly than going to court.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

Hang in there man, things like this and the with you handling it all legal, tend to come back and bite the offender in the arrears :)

Karma!

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

Very true...or I can fly down, we dress up in all black...and start some Sh!T

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

I'm in! I'll bring the aluminum baseball bat. :sl;)

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

I did not know that, that changes my opinion completely, Bill.

Re: Possible legal advice?
 

sorry to hear its still going on
hope you can get it resolved
