I literally worked there for like 9 days. I haven't looked into it but I'm really doubting I could collect. I worked 38 hours the first week, 30 hours the 2nd week and my final day was like 7.5 hours. That and I wasn't fired, I didn't quit......I just refused to work till I was paid and she refused to pay me. Kind of a stalemate there.

Although for the record I know nothing bout unemployment.

That makes two of us...which is why I asked the question.

Quick update, I got another check that cannot be cashed for the wrong amount a few days ago. She chose not to sign the "authorized signature" this time. It's now been 2 days short from 4 weeks, I have not received a dime. I seriously cannot understand how businesses that do this remain open.

T.G · 03-01-2011, 02:55 PM

Bill, have you talked to the labor board yet? It's really sounding like you have more than enough valid reasons to get in touch with them over this.

Bill86 · 03-01-2011, 03:01 PM

Yeah I've been talking to them for the past 2 weeks. Supposed to receive a call yesterday so I left a message today.

Me? I woulda put some chicken scratch in the signature line. But that's me, and I AM a douchebag.

Yeah but again it's for like a third of the money owed to me just not worth it.

You may also be able to take them to small claims court. Do you have any proof that you worked there, ie time card, any related paperwork. Will any of the employees be willing to verify your employment with the bar?

My clock out slips and the schedule with my name on it.

As for the employees I don't know. Didn't really know them well.

It believe its only a couple of bucks to file a suit in small claims court. Maybe that will get them to get off their butts and pay you, which will be less costly than going to court.
