Re: contractor who owes employees money
The contractor's behavior is illegal under both NY and Federal law. You are likely entitled to bring a lawsuit against the contractor to recover unpaid wages. In fact, as a penalty for violating the law, the contractor may be responsible for paying you liquidated damages (double what you're owed) as well as your attorneys fees and costs.
I regularly represent victims of unscupulous behavior like you throughout FL, NY and NJ.
