Haven't Been Paid By Job Type

No matter what you job is, your employer is required by law to pay you. If you find that you haven't been paid, you may be able to file a claim to receive compensation for your missed wages. 

Each state has different pay day requirements, or requirements for how frequently you should be paid. If your employer has not been following these, then you may find that you are eligible to file a claim, no matter what your job is.

What To Do If You Haven't Been Paid

The first step to take when you haven't been paid is gather evidence. You should keep track of the hours worked. If you have timecards, keep a copy. If you do not, manually track your hours. You can use these records to make that when you are paid, it is for the appropriate hours worked.

Next, speak with your employer. It may have simply been a mistake that you were not paid. If you are still not paid after discussing the matter with your employer, you may want to then contact either your state's labor department or the federal labor department. After, you may then be able to file a claim for the wages you were not paid.

Getting Help When You Haven't Been Paid

For assistance with filing your claim, you may want to consult with an attorney. A lawyer will be able to help you gather your evidence and follow the appropriate steps to filing a claim. Some lawyers do not require payment until your case is won, so discuss how payment works right away.
