Re: employment compensation

Depending on the nature of your employment (salary vs. by the hour) and your regular duties, you may be protected by both FL and Federal laws which make this non-payment of wages illegal. You might be entitled to double (liquidated) damages and to have your attorney's fees and costs paid by your employer. You should either contact the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division or a private attorney to see what your rights are. My firm and I regularly represent employees in your situation on a contingency basis and I'd be happy to speak with you with regards to the facts of your case. Feel free to call me toll-free at (877)456-WAGE.

Re: employment compensation

Send a brief letter demanding payment by regular and certified mail and by fax. Give the employer 7-10 days to issue you a check and pay it in full. If they don't pay, hire an employment law attorney and sue them for an action for unpaid wages, quantum meruit, and unjust enrichment. Normally, it situations like these you need the attorney to threaten them to force them to pay.
