Raises- Retroactive?

I have been working for an employment agency for almost 2 years. Last year I had to have some paperwork regarding my income, filled out to apply for medical assistance. I sent a form to the agency I work for requesting wage information that was needed. On this form it was stated that I would be getting an increase in wages as of January 1st. The person who signed this document was the manager of the office, however no longer works for the company. I have been communicating with the agency and finally after months of going back and forth I am finally getting my raise. However, now I am told that this will not be retroactive back to January. It has been 10 months and I feel that I am entitled to that money. Could someone please help me out??

Re: Raises- Retroactive?

Unless you can show that the paper amounted to a contract, there is not much you can do, I would need to know more about the nature of the paper before making an assessment of your situation.

Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can call my office to schedule an appointment for a consultation or in the alternative, I can be reached for on-phone low-cost legal consultation at 1-800-275-5336 x0233699
