Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

Check witholding

I was employed at a doctors office at the end of april and worked there for two weeks and was let go. I did not sign any payroll or tax papers and when I was let go I asked them to send a copy of tax papers to my home address which they did. I sent my tax papers back to them and still have not received a check and that was over a month ago. Legally they are entitled to pay me for my two weeks of work correct? even though I was only employed there for two weeks and did not sign papers? Thanks

Re: Check witholding

Yes. You must get paid for the hours you worked. Contact the employer and advise that they must pay � and demand that the check be forwarded to you at your home address. If that does not work contact the Dept. of Labor, they should be able to shake the $$ out of the employer. Last thing is try to retain an attoreny for a suit.
