Legal work help? boss not paying up?
|
I live in California.
My brother worked for a guy painting a hotel that is about 3 hours from where we live. My brother is 21, I am 16. My brother talked to his boss and got me a job helping at $8/h. We've worked every day for 8-12 hours except for 1 day when we visited home every 2 weeks for about 3 months. Our boss paid some of what he owed us after about 3 weeks that I worked. Now he still owes me about $2000 dollars and my brother more than me. There is also 2 other guys working with us, one was paid off in full because he didn't work for that long, and the other one he still owes money just like me and my brother. Our boss owes another one of his workers $6000 and he told him directly that he is NOT going to pay him. I have a feeling that he will tell me and my brother the same thing that he won't pay us. Its been about 3 months since we finished working and our boss always says that he will pay us on XX/XX. When that day comes, he says he can't pay and will pay us on XX/XX. and that's been going on for 3 months. My brother wants to sue him. There are 5 people including myself who are witnesses that he doesn't pay us. What is going to happen to him? What should we do? I worked my *** off for 3 months and I'm not about to let this slide.

File a wage claim with the Department of Industrial Relations in CA:
http://www.dir.ca.gov/

Hopefully you have records of the time you were there.
Also, the employer might be in trouble with the State if you worked more than 8 hours in a day (against child labor laws unless you've already graduated from high school and/or have your GED). |

first, do you have job contract with him? did you keep time records? does he issue pay slips? armed with these documents, first go to your local department of labor and ask for assistance. they will assign you a labor lawyer for free. this department will do the initial investigation and would summon your employer. your case would be stronger if you, your brother and the rest of your co-workers to file a class suit against this employer. the legal cost of would be lesser since it would be shared among yourselves. |
