Re: employer refuses to pay wages due

Its not a great idea to continue working week after week if you aren't being paid. You can sue your employer in small claims court if its under $5,000.00, just fill out a "Statement of Claim," and pay the filing fee. These types of employers usually end up shorting employees and its difficult to get money where there is none there.
