Re: Not getting paid
Your brother may have a federal case pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act. He may also have other remedies available to him in either state or federal court. The federal statute is very employee-friendly. For example, it may require the company to pay him twice what is owed, as well as his attorneys fees. However, it is a very complicated statute, and there are a large number of exceptions to it.
