Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

Loss of Wages

I work for a company that has basically gone broke. Myself along with several other have not been paid in three weeks, some five weeks. We are not sure what the state of our company is, the bank may have taken over, we are just not sure and no one will say. I would like to know what course of action can be taken to get the money that is owed to us. We have filed loss of wages claims to the department of labor. We want to know can we file a class action law suit against the owner of the company as well as the company itself? All we want is to get the money that is owed us. The owner has not said anything in regard to employees getting paid. W e desperately need assistance.

Re: Loss of Wages

There is such a thing as mitigating your losses. In your case, you should look for other employment. It may be worthwhile to file an action against the employer and the fees can be divided among the individuals who are not being paid; however, do not delay if you want to seek legal remedies. As a side note, check with your health plan to make sure that your employer is paying

group health insurance premiums.
