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.

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

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

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. π€

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