When A Employer Doesn't Pay

its two hundred buck.... look at it as a lesson an move on

Move on

No one else would be so flippant about it if they got cheated out of their paycheck. There is something to be said for letting go but the OP is the one to make that decision. It's callous to suggest it to her unless you would say 'it's okay no prob' if your employer f*cked you out of a week's pay.

Maybe you have been ripped off by pros and that's why you say that. If so I'm sorry but I don't blame anyone for being upset about being ripped off for a week's worth of door knocking money. What sh*tty job to begin with and what a sh*tty way to be treated. Like guys say, if it seems TGTBT, it probably is.

Now that's a useful reply, Shyster.

Why not Small Claims Court?

If that doesn't work, she could file in small claims court, but she'd make the decision whether it's worth the time, trouble, and expense to litigate a claim for only $200.

Well when it comes to money and irresponsible employers I say screw the law and anything civilized. when I was about 18 right out of high school I worked for a Beverage Co. I had always considered myself to be a pretty cool kid and a good worker. well that summer I had been working for about three weeks and was working for 6.50 per hour as a helper on a Beer truck. One day the manager told me that he couldn't pay me for about six weeks or so and that the company was having budget issues, whatever. So I told him that was fine that I would be willing to continue to work. But I told him that during the six weeks without pay that all my hours would have to be tallied up to the beat of twelve dollars per hour. Well he started laughing. I told him that if i was to quit he couldn't hire anyone else cause nobody is going to want to start a new job and go six weeks without pay and if he didn't hire anyone he would still have to pay regular workers overtime. Apparently it must have made sense to him so he agreed to pay me ten dollars an hour during the crisis. He was never really nice to me after that and I eventually quit. But it was funny how I put him on the spot and made a little extra cash.

hey, it's summer time. you could always find out where he lives / parks his car and put some raw chicken parts or a fish in one of his hub caps.

He'll notice the smell but probably won't investigate for at least a week or so.

Chances are that you'll never see that $200 but think of the enjoyment you'll get knowing how much he threw up when he pulls the hubcap off and sees the decomposing chicken or fish.

FYI, if he doesn't notice it within 2 weeks, go let the air out of that tire (don't damage it) but he'll have to remove the hub cap to change the tire

Yeah - then you could break into his house a boil his kid's pets in a pot then try to kill him and his family....yeah that's the ticket.

Just threaten him with some paper he'll give you the money he owes you and/or file a complaint with the labor board. Anyone who says they don't care when people don't get paid is FOS. It's not whether they care or not but it's the obligation to investigate and do something about it.

Just go kick him in his balls.
Are you could tell him you re going to call his wife or girl friend and tell them he came onto you and you turned him down.

He will pony up the $200.00 fast

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ha ha ha, very funny. Since we're all supposed to be adults here, I hope we can limit our discussions in this forum to legal means to resolve our problems, not self-help, and certainly not stupid and childish gags and tricks. A post like this is a turd to be dropped in the Sandbox.
