Q: If my final paycheck wasn't payed to me when the law requires it be ? Does my employer have to pay me a full days wages?
My boss suspended me indefinitely and then he kept my final paycheck because of a draw taken , I told him it was illegal and made him pay me. He was about three weeks late paying me and he changed my dependents to exempt and took 25% of my take home for himself. I have a court ordered child support garnishment that didn't get payed . He changed my dependants to be able to take more of my check for himself. How many days can I request that he pays me a days wages for him paying me late? And when would he have to pay me if he suspended me indefinitely instead of saying your fired? I quit in a text message after being suspended indefinitely. So he was supposed to pay me in five days correct? I told him he couldn't take money out of my final check for a draw and he took what was court ordered to child support division . He didn't make a paystub for my final check until I demanded he pay me and I told him I wanted what he owed for paying me late. He originally took 200$ for himself 96$ 4 me
A: There are a lot of things going on, but yes, it sounds like he would owe you a minimum of 8 hours of pay for each day he was late. But there is the possibility he owes more, a lot more. You should contact an employment law attorney near you to discuss.
