Missing 2 weeks of pay for part-time work (4hrs/day). What to do?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't been paid for two weeks of work (40 hours total). I've been working part-time, 4 hours a day, Monday to Friday. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do to get my missing payments?

Ugh, that sucks! Have you tried contacting your employer? Sometimes there can be a delay in processing payroll, especially for part-time workers.

Yeah, I reached out to HR but haven't heard back yet. It's so frustrating!

Pro tip: always keep a record of your hours worked. It'll make it easier to prove your case if there's a dispute.

This happened to me once. Turns out it was a glitch in their payroll system. Def keep bugging HR!

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything! Write down all the days and hours you worked. 2. Send a formal email to your employer requesting your missing wages. Be polite but firm. 3. If they don't respond within a week, follow up with a phone call. 4. Still no luck? Contact your state's labor board. They can help you file a wage claim. 5. Consider reaching out to a labor lawyer for a free consultation if things escalate. Remember, it's illegal for employers to withhold wages. Don't let them get away with it!

This is why we need stronger labor laws! Companies think they can just walk all over us little guys. 😀

Ok, calm down Karl Marx. Sometimes it's just an honest mistake.

Are you sure youre not misunderstanding your pay schedule? Some places pay bi-weekly or have a lag between work period and payday.

I double-checked, and I'm pretty sure I'm not. But thanks for bringing that up!

Guys, I'm in the same boat. Been waiting on backpay for 3 months now. Any advice on how to expedite the process?

3 months?! That's insane. Have you filed a complaint with the labor board yet?

Not yet, but I'm seriously considering it now. This is getting ridiculous.

If that's true, can the boss hook me up with some lottery numbers? πŸ€‘
