I am trying to get all of my finances in order before I leave for the Army but I am having issues with my last employer. I worked a minimum of 100 hours per week and was only paid $280 every friday. I think that violates some law or another. I was ok with it because I was to be paid 25% of everything that was billed to the customers. It turned out that I did not get paid that $280 every week (sometimes it was less) and my 25% that was to be paid at the end of the month did not make it to my account either. I contacted the US Department of Labor a week ago, and they told me today that they have been unable to contact anyone at the shop. Is there any other way that I can collect my paycheck and get this over with? Legal action or is there a labor department in Florida? I could care less about the weekly pay, I just want my 25%. I do not understand why people do this, and it is causing my wife and I to not be able to pay our bills on time. Thanks.
