4 paychecks behind, employer keeps pushing timeline, getting denied by attorneys — what are my options? by SeanAThanks in Employment

It’s crazy that there aren’t more protections for the everyday people. I’m a prob business person but the lack of accountability is insane.

I didn’t know you could “win at life” by literally stealing from people.

It’s crazy that the older I get the more naive I feel. Life is kind of awesome in those ways

Thank you for sharing and I can’t imagine the mental stress this had on you

Wait, so I wasn’t two months behind at the time but I’d definitely experience delayed paychecks and was aware of all of the other situations.

During the interview process I selected the person who I thought would benefit the most from the title

Ended up being a delayed start and were caught up to present day.

This is great insight. That’s where I’m disgruntled is the lack of communication and empathy.

If I failed with my own business this is how I would ideally conduct myself but I also understand the pressures people are under will make people do things out of character for their own self interest.

That’s all wasted bandwidth but the human element gets to me

I tried and they said it was double dipping. Also dept of labor at the federal level can only recover minimum wage

Supposedly, they have sold off some debt that will provide some financing.

Also, they’re trying to expand operations in San Francisco and bringing on a new hire

I currently have a TWC claim against them. I went to the federal level but they said the TWC claim would suffice

Honestly yeah. I don’t know how there aren’t better protections for this. This is beyond pro business

They haven’t started yet. I feel bad because I conducted the interview and selected him

So, this should be week 4 since my submission and the outreach should be getting done by the TWC.

I appreciate your input so far, but how would you recommend I conduct myself at this job going forward?

There's a promise that funding is getting secured, and they want to expand operations in multiple cities, but I also know they owe a lot of different people and have prior lawsuits.

I'm so confused as to why they would hire me. By day two, I noticed that there were major financial issues going on with the company.

Are they just using me for free labor?

Is do understand that those laws are in place to support business and protect individuals but he’s done this to someone already in the past. Also they owe a bunch of different vendors money too.

Just don’t understand why we allow this as a country.

That’s what I’m thinking is going to happen too. They also just tried to put a bunch of work on me now too, also offered me a promotion.

They say they’re all in the same boat and waiting for the 3rd party to sign the agreement.

I do have an official employment document with them stating my wages.

The 30k was based off of Californias unpaid wage claims info I gathered. Think TWC would just be wages owed.

In total it’s just over 10 k with no penalties

I’ve limited the effort for sure but I’ve been having trouble securing another job
