A:
It sounds like you're dealing with a challenging situation regarding your former employer. When you've reached out with important documentation regarding hours worked and wages owed, but haven't received any response, it can feel disheartening and frustrating. If your documentation was disregarded or not acknowledged, taking further steps to ensure your rights are respected is crucial.
First, it's important to gather all relevant communication and documents related to your claim. This includes any emails, texts, or written requests you've made, along with any proof of the work you performed, such as timesheets or projects completed. Having a detailed record can strengthen your case, should you need to escalate the matter.
If your initial attempts to resolve the issue directly with your former boss haven't been successful, you might consider reaching out to a local labor board or seeking legal advice. These entities can offer guidance on how to proceed based on your jurisdiction's labor laws. Sometimes, simply mentioning that you are exploring these options can prompt a more immediate response from an employer. Remember, you have rights as a worker, and there are resources available to help ensure those rights are protected.
