My wife worked for an individually owned small manufacturing company in Texas. It was owned by a local businedd man and was not a corporation. The office consisted of 2 people plus the warehuose personnel. During her time there, she was never paid on time. Payday was every-other Tuesday but wouldn't get paid until Thursday or Friday of that week. The accounts receivable's were so far behind that if a company didn't pay my wife's company then they had no money to cover payroll. Can anything be done for all the late paychecks received?
Also, she was terminated last Thursday and has just now received her last check yesterday. It was my understanding that an employer has to give you the last check at the time of termination? In addition, the check is significantly less than what it should have been. The owner has no records of hours worked by his employees as required by the DOL.Can we sue for paying us the wrong amount, or not keeping records? I'd like to stick it to this guy!
