Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Louisiana

slander

The insurance agency that I worked for let me go after 1 month because they said that I could not learn their computer system fast enough. I am a licensed p & C producer. I was not given termination papers. They will not even give me my final paycheck. I called the police about this and they told the police officer that I had some checks that belonged to them. I have no idea what they are talking about. I know that it can be proven that I don't have this. I want to know an attorney that can help me in this area with my paycheck and the slander. I live in DeQuincy Louisiana about 30 miles from Lake Charles, LA. I have been mentally drained.

If your former employer owes you wages, then you should consider speaking to an attorney about filing suit under the Louisiana Wage payment statute, La. R.S. 23:631 et seq.

Any local attorney can help you, but for a fee and the fee may not be worth it. In California we have a State Department of Labor that makes administrative regulations regarding employment and enforces labor laws. I am sure that Louisiana has some state agency that does the same thing. Contact that State agency and make a formal written complaint.
