Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia
employer won't pay final check
Hello. I left my position as a loan processor on 5/5/08. My employer emailed me a separation letter on 5/6/08 which stated he would pay me my last check on 5/15/08. Well, today, 5/15/08, when I tried to pick up my check, my former employer said that he doesn't have the money to pay me. I am really worried and don't know the appropriate steps to take in order to ensure I get my money. I would like to know what I should do. Thanks in advance.

Contact the federal and state department of labor. You may also wish to notify the IRS as they have an interest in receiving the tax payments that are withheld from your wages.
