I haven't gotten paid for the worked I did and I have the time sheet and called human resources department number and have the references number and I have bills to pay for myself
A:
If you have worked and have not been compensated, you may have a valid wage claim under both federal and New York state labor laws. You should first document all communications with the company, including your timesheet and reference numbers. Then, consider sending a formal written demand for payment to the company, detailing the hours worked and the total amount due.
If the employer still does not compensate you, you can file a wage complaint with the New York State Department of Labor. Throughout this process, maintain all documentation, as it will be crucial if legal proceedings become necessary. Furthermore, you may want to seek legal counsel to ensure your rights are fully protected and to discuss any potential remedies.
