Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Re: Employment Law

Under both Federal and Florida law, your final paycheck is typically due on the normal pay date. If that day has come and gone, you may have a valid case under both the Fair Labor Standard Act and Florida law for unpaid minimum wages. In addition to your final paycheck, you may be entitled to double (liquidated) damages and to have attorneys fees and costs paid by your ex-employer. I regularly handle such cases on a contingency basis. If you'd like to discuss this at greater length, feel free to contact me at (877)456-WAGE.

Re: Employment Law

An employer should pay a former employee his or her final paycheck on the following scheduled payday.

If the employer fails to do so, the employee is required to contact the employer in writing and give the employer 15 days to submit the final paycheck.

After the 15 days, the employee then has the right to file a lawsuit if the wages or not received.

But before jumping into court, make sure that the former employer has the correct address to mail the check and all other contact information is correct and updated.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

Good luck!
