I do consruction work, I'm a framer, live in Utah. I've worked with a company that just recently went out of buisness. There were 2 owners. The one owner is gone, the other owner took his favorites, built one crew and put us on peace rate. I've gone without pay for 4 weeks, been told it's comming and without fail every time, nothing. They owe me for 52 hrs before I went to peace rate. Every time I've got my pay checks there has never been a check stub showing hours worked, taxes, etc. The last two checks bounced and I'm getting letters stating I owe them $. Checks were cashed at check city. Our work van is not registered or licenced, nor do I believe insured now for 4 months.(Yet to have been pulled over and fined) I talked to my dad last night who is finacially well to do and he said, "We're taking this company to court." I just want to know where I stand in this mess.

I don't know anything about law honestly, but I would contact your State Attorney's office.

It is "piece" work.
Why didn't you get another job 2 weeks ago? You can sue all you want, but if they don't have money they can't pay, you regardless of a court decision.

You have a case, document, document, document.
Right everything down wages statements times you've worked and anything else that might be relevant.
