My roommate recently completed some freelance audio work for a local businessman. They had an oral agreement as to the hourly rate of payment. The work was done during my roommates freetime, because he is also a student. After completion, he brought his log of hours worked with the completed project to his employer. The employer, after accepting the work, decided he will not pay the agreed upon wage. Instead, he is offering much less. The amounts involved are a little under $1,000 so bringing legal action is not of interest. Has the employer done any kind of legal wrong? Is there anything my roommate can do to receive something close to the original rate, and still retain a professional reference?
