Q: I worked as an independent contractor and am owed thousands of dollars. Help, please.
Hi. I worked as an independent contractor for a small business. They owe me $13,814.50
for the work I did for them last year. I have tried to work with them. Offered them payment plans
and even offered to drop the amount owed if they began paying. They have not.
I did work for their clients. Their clients paid them but they have failed to pay me my share.
They have not responded to me in months. I need help, please.
A: You should contact a South Carolina employment attorney to discuss this situation. In the meantime, you should preserve any written conversations between you and the business and evidence of any payments made or work performed during the timeframe you haven't been paid.
