Re: wages not paid
Immediately report the problem to the NJ Department of Labor. You should find the telephone number in the blue pages of your phone book.
The State has an interest in ensuring that employees receive priority in being paid. They will be most helpful if they know that all the employees are affected.
You might also want to start looking for a new job.
