Q: My previous employer is basically refusing to pay me on a couple of missed deposits
While working for Casey’s, I was working more hours than anyone. Not only was I told I needed to start clocking out and continuing my work but they also owe me a lot of money. While doing my 2022 taxes I had noticed a couple of pay dates that were not deposited into my accounts. I emailed the district manager who basically told me I’m not getting the money “not those exact words”
A:
You have a number of options. Accounting errors due happen and are generally resolved by the employee bringing such to the employer's attention.
However, if an employer is not paying for wages earned, you can make a complaint for such through the Nebraska Department of Labor:

You can also file an action for unpaid wages under the Nebraska Wage Payment and Collection Act. This action can include an award of attorney fees for having to bring the action.
There may be other options as well and you would need to speak with an attorney about your best course of action.
