    She called the labor board. They listened and put her on hold while they called dude.
    They came back on the phone and said dude was out of the office. Guy named Carl answered and would give dude the message to call ASAP.

    All good cept:
    It was his cell phone number, he's the only full time employee and there's never been a Carl.

    Round 2.

    Update: Everyone that said "Labor Board" won... however:

    Lady at Labor Department: "Maam, we know he's lying cause he one time said he'd paid you in November but then told us he was mailing you a check in December. But when he said he was mailing you the check we closed the case."

    Young lady: "OK, well he didn't"

    Lady at Labor Department: "Well then he's in violation of the Labor something something act!"

    Young lady: "Awesome, what are you gonna do to him?"

    Lady at Labor Department: "Oh we can't do anything you'll have to sue him in small claims court. Thanks for calling."

    I dunno. I was still blind with rage when I typed that. I guess I was trying to say that that IS whom you're supposed to speak with but they're completely toothless.

    I hear ya. Nothing like closing the file without a follow up. I still like Brit's plan.

    Unless..... she was unofficially on the payroll, as in working & being paid under the table so to speak, that'd be the only reason I'd suspect he could/would not pay up.

    Rookie -

    Correct,
    The employer cannot withhold pay for ANY reason. She was working when the accident happened - at fault or not, insurance covers these things. The employer CAN attempt to sue her of course, but they CANNOT keep her pay.

    Contact/Read the EEOC and FLSA websites. There are FAQ's and links to contact for assistance. I used these as well as a law class to get my money.......

    Nope. I told them (after I got on the phone with them after she became too mad to speak) "I ran a small business and now planned on doing this to all my employees from now on." She said "well you'd be in violation of the Fair Labor blah blah act and I'd have to advice them to sue you just as I've advised your friend to do!"

    They have no teeth. None. Her supervisor said when it comes to enforcing things with larger companies they have to get the IRS or other agencies involved.

    I asked how they could sleep taking portions of my tax money and he said "we set standards and decide who is in violation." ...and then do nothing about it.

    The labor board has no teeth, they can only enforce min wage. Anything above min wage is a pers agreement between employee and employer.

    Nothing illegal about that as a policy for employment but they can't take it out of your pay when you leave.

    My company is good about this stuff and doesn't make us pay anything. You just get made fun of until you retire. Damn they sure build up some ammunition for those of us that are around awhile and it hurts even worse when you are the Safety Manager and cause damage. :D
