Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

Dear Sir/Madam,

My employer is in Virginia.I live in Ohio.

I have 3 questions.

1.

I was on an expense paid project for 3 montths in 2008.The agreement was that I will have to pay for my boarding, food and transportation, then submit the expense sheets and then the expenses will be reimbursed.

I spent more than $12000 and did not get anything reimbursed.

I have all the approved expense sheets.These were approved by my manager on the client side.The client says that they have paid everything.But my employer says that the cleint has not paid them.

What do I do in this regard?Kindly help...

2.

My employer sent me a termination letter in January-2010.He did not pay me from October-2009 untill January-2010.

Does'nt my employer need to pay me untill the date he sent me the termination letter irrespective of whether I was on a project or not?

3.

My employer did not pay me salary for November-2008.

He made me sign a leave note for November-2008.

But I was at the client place during this period and I have my client approved timesheets for this period.Is'nt this enough proof that I was not on leave during this period and that I need to be paid for this period?

Thanks,

Snigdha.

1. If you were doing work for the employer, he would owe you for the wages

you earned during the period at issue and not the employer's client.

2. The answer to this question would seem to depend upon what your agreement with the employer provides for in regard to whether you were "on a project or not".

3. I don't have a ready answer to this question which may lie in the answer to #2

i.e., what did the contract provide for regarding this issue?
