I've been working for a small nonprofit in the state of Maryland as a Grant Writer under a 1099 status. A couple weeks ago, my employer decided to lay me off because he said they were experiencing financial hardships. When I asked him for further explanation he began to talk about how he didn't feel he could keep me on the payroll since he felt I didn't have the level of expertiese they were looking for to begin with and they didn't have money to develop my skills. So, fine, I accepted this answer and we agreed that he would pay me whatever money for the work I did on a major proposal plus a couple of hours to wrap up everything. A week after being laid off, I handed back all the brochures, programs, and files both paper and electronic. When I asked for my paycheck he said he would mail it to me. I called him a week later and he changed his tune saying he and his partner had "concern" and nothing more. I keep calling and he keeps avoiding me.
