Q: I was not paid by my employer, it's been over 3 weeks since the pay period and still nothing. I'm in ohio. What can Ido?
I only briefly worked for this company for around 3 weeks I was hired on the spot and started a few days later with no Training whatsoever. Mind you, it's a home care position. I had given all documents required for employment to a manager who did my interview. I tried for days to contact. it wasnt till almost 6 days later I recieved response from the company owner. He says they do not have copies of my new hire paperwork or documents, and demanding I take some 8 hour training class that I was never informed of. The woman who is supposed
train me the Monday that I started never showed up so how could I possibly know that I had some type of training I had to finish and why would I wanna go do that training now that I'm no longer with them. I did contact the job and wage board but all they can collect for me as men and wage when I was offered $13 an hour. Which I feel is not fair to me, especially with my experience in the field. What can I do??
A:
Sometimes the government agencies are limited on what they can recover for you.
I'm not necessarily seeing anything in your question that would prevent you from getting the full $13/hr. The only way to know for sure is by contacting an employment law attorney as soon as possible. Some will offer free initial consultations.
