What can I do if a employer refuses to pay me my wages even after being order to pay by dept of labor.?

Question

its been over a year since i filed a wage complaint and about 6 months since the employer was order to pay

Answer 1

  report  again

Answer 2

You need to keep on the dept of labor's butt...

Myself and other employees had this happen to us  and  we had to file a claim with the labor dept.. it took us 3 yrs   and constant contact with the labor dept .. We then only received 1/3 of what was owed to us as  our former employer  pleaded poverty and settled.

You also could take your former employer to court --small claims if its not a lot of money ..check it out in your state.. just call the court clerk for more information .

Answer 3

small claims court

Answer 4

sue him

Answer 5

Depends on the laws of your unknown State.

In some States the labor board will assist employees in recovering unpaid wages, in some they'll merely issue an order and enforcing it is up to you. (Means going to court and suing your employer)

In some States a wages ruling by the labor board has the status of a judgment, which means you can collect on that ruling just as if you'd won a case in court. (By liens on bank accounts, seizure of property, 'till-tapping', or whatever other methods your state allows)

Answer 6

Contact the Department of Labor again or see an attorney.

Answer 7

From a lawyer.  Request the Department of Labor to enforce the order by closing the business.  This is the next step in the process and they will be impressed with your knowledge of the process.  Write them a letter, send it certified.  They will close down the employer, even if it's WalMart.

Answer 8

tell the dept of labor he did or the cops

Answer 9

Don't give up ..Go back to the Dept. of Labor and tell them. Ask them to call Payroll and find out what is going on. Keep on them and do not let them get away with holding your money. If they still give you a run around look in the pages of the phone book and call your Attorney Generals Office and ask for the Public Protection Dept.  They should be able to help you. Keep all your paper work or make copies of them.

Answer 10

Inform the court of non-payment.
