How do I get an employer to pay me for my services?
My company never paid me when they said they would.supposed to be weekly I always had to call to find out where my pay was. So naturally almost 2 years later I decided I was through with the stress and put in my 2 weeks notice. Mind you when I put my notice in they owed me 2 checks. Now my 2 weeks are done and as of now they owe me four checks equaling over $1000. When I call, I get no answers as to why the checks haven’t been sent out but they know how much they owe me. What do I do?

In a case such as this you have 2 options. First, you can file a wage claim complaint with your state's department of labor. Second, you can sue your former employer is small claims court. No matter which option you choose, be sure to have all proof needed to support your claim.
