Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Re: Company closing, says they can't pay me

I would be very careful in this situation because you are in a very difficult situation. I do not recommend taking cash from a deposit that is supposed to be made for the company's receivables because even if the Company has put you on notice that they do not have sufficient funds to make payroll, if you take the money to be deposited, you could very well be arrested from criminal theft and also be subject to civil liability as well. I understand this may not seem fair that they could potentially not pay on the next regularly scheduled payday, but however much you are owed in wages would not seem to be worth getting arrested . . . and if you take the deposit money, they would seem to have a legitimate basis to file criminal charges.
