    Question How Do I Get My Paycheck

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of:Knoxville,Tennessee.. I worked for an electrical company, until finding new employment, for 3 years. The owner of company has failed to pay me for 112 hours of work at $11.25 an hour. Is there a way for someone to assist me on going about this in a courtly manner? I am very impecuniousness and bills are due. How do I get my paycheck?

    You can start by filing a wage claim with the Dept. of Labor. Either they will take the claim for unpaid wage (likely) or refer you to a small claims court action.

    If the employer refuses payment of wages, what can the employee do?
    Anyone who has a problem collecting wages can file a wage claim with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development's Division of Labor Standards. If the circumstances are such that we are unable to help, the complainant is referred to court.
    Just for curiosity's sake, why does the employer say they have not paid you? Is this your final pay that is in question? If so, when was your last day worked?

    Tough toenails, employer. Forget "courtly"; he's not being "courtly" by not paying you for your work.

    File the claim immediately.
