Ever not get paid by someone who owed you a lot of $?

I've never had a situation like that, but I've known people who did. I hope they pay you. If they don't, you can contact your state and they'll investigate. I can't remember what the office is, but it has something to do with employee's rights and I think every state has one.

Not working on a job. Have always been paid. I don't blame you for leaving if you aren't paid. Most services are not free. I did make a personal loan to a friend about 4 years ago. Am still trying to collect. She's paid back about half of what she owes me after much hounding on my part. She's no longer considered to be a friend. Too many lies about the money and other things. I did learn a valid lesson.

No I have never gone through this, I have always been paid for my hours. I know you are in the United States but here in Canada we have a labour board and I'm sure you must as well because you have unemployment insurance and all the same as we do and if that would happen here we could go to the labour relations board and you can be sure we'd be paid as it's against the law for an employer to not pay the employee. All the best in getting this sorted out.

Yes, I feel your pain! I am currently waiting for a commission payment of $750.,which was due at the end of July. The company has been on time the three previous payments, so it was totally unexpected when the payment was not received. I have contacted the company but have been given a number of different excuses so I fear they might be experiencing financial difficulties too. Unfortunately,one of the drawbacks of self-employment. One of those government jobs looks pretty good...right about now! Hope your situation improves before it's too late. Good luck!

Yes, I have it still be time employees. But only 1-2 days late. I requested an explanation from the HRD division. Do you have any employment contract?

It happened to me sometimes. Usually it's because of the payment period meet a holiday. But if usually you get the payment on time, and there's no holiday fallen on the date of payment, perhaps you should ask them actually what's going on. I hope you won't be cheated. So now just hope that they will pay you on Monday or Tuesday. I wish you all the best. Happy mylotting.

OMG..my dear friend, as a freelancer it happens a lot...but NEVER when it was supposed to be! I truly take heart, and feel for you. My money eventually came thru..on their terms, and times. I cannot say anything, other than my heart goes out to you....in these times of recession...and being there, what DO we do! I am seriously praying this will all work out...!
