Q: I signed a 90 day contract with my temp agency to work at a job site. I worked over a year then termination.
I never received and benefits and I never received the sign on bonus that was promised after being hired after 90 days. They hired new employees and kept me as a temp and then made me do a background check to keep my temporary job. then used it to terminate me. Can I take them to court for the contract and no benefits or anything?
A:
Sorry to hear that the employer did you wrong. Absenet a binding arbitration agreement in your contract you may sue in court. I suggest that you have an attorrney review the contract and assess the situation. For employment matters, attorneys sometimes represent clients on a contingency (percentage) basis. Employers generally take represented parties much more seriously than pro se plaintiffs who don't understand how to litigate a case.
Missouri has a good unpaid-wages statute.
