You always have to think of the best trick to persuade him to give you your money. Also what are the best tactics to persuade him to pay you without him giving you stories.

I had this problem for about a year at a mortgage company I used to work for. It got to the point where every payday, the boss would call us all in for a meeting and he'd be like, "We haven't received a few checks for closings yet, so we won't be able to pay you until next Friday," or whatever. It really sucked, but sometimes I would be able to shake about half my paycheck out of him while I was waiting on the rest of it. However, even when he would give us our checks, half the time they would bounce. I got in a lot of trouble with my bank over that job. In retrospect, I should have found a new job the second that started happening, but the job market was really unstable back then, and when I did get paid, it was a lot more money than I could make anywhere else. Besides, that company was like a second family to me. A lot of my friends worked there too, and we always had a great time at parties and stuff, so I felt really guilty every time I even thought about looking for a new job. In the end, the company ended up filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy and I was forced to quit because theyweren't going to be able to pay me for 45-60 days while they were in reorganization. It really ruined me financially, to be honest, and I will be having to file bankruptcy myself this year just to get out of the mess I got into from not being paid on the regular. My advice to you is to go and find a new job immediately, because sooner or later this guy is going to majorly screw you over.

In UK law you are entitled to be paid for the work you do. When you are paid depends on the terms of the contract, whether said contract is written or implied.
If your employer does not pay you at regular intervals, you can apply to the Employment Tribunal (ET) for "Unlawful deduction from wages". The ET will automatically find in your favour, however, the ET has no powers to enforce any payment owed to you and you may then have to seek recompense through the courts.
Further, it is likely that, by not paying you, your employer is in breach of contract and you may sue the employer in the court for appropriate compensation.
Seek legal advice/assistance asap. Citizens Advice offer free, confidential help in such matters. For your nearest Citizens Advice follow this link: http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk or contact a local Law Centre/Employment solicitor.
Good luck.

Isn't not paying your employees again the law? Phone the labour board or at least threaten to. I know in Canada you have to give your employers name and address before the will give you help so.. if you are brave and are willing to look for a new job. Good luck

If you like the job, calmly explain to him that you, out of respect for him and the business have always shown up on time and done your job well and on time and that you expect the same from him when it comes to your pay. If he can't do that, I would definetly look elsewhere. It is best to look for a new job while you still have one-it allows you the time to be choosy. Good luck.

Just find another job dude. If he's not paying you on time, you shouldn't be working there. If you're in the UK, contact Citizens Advice and they'll let you know what rights you have, or join a Union and they can represent you if your employer keeps mucking you about.

Hi well if there you are working for a company with a name and not a cash in hand job then you can go and see someone and he can get done for it. I dont know weather im allowed to say on answers but if you want i will give you the name if you email me your email address. If you even mention this company your boss will get scared and wont make no more excuses to pay you.
My finace was getting less than minimum wage and we all new its against the law, but his boss never used to put it up, he was asking for a wage rise but he wasnt gettingminimum mage to start off with and when we told them the minimum wage went up he tryed to blag him and said his wage didnt, but everyones did. So i went to the jobcentre and asked them and told them his story and she said it was illegal and to ring this company. So he went back and told his boss then they sorted it out for him as he new he was in the wrong.

Take his laptop - hold it for ransom. Give it back to him when he pays you. Worked for a friend of mine. If he threatens to call the police - say "fine, I wonder what they'd have to say about you stealing my paycheck". Meanwhile find another job with a reliable company.

Tell him he's in breach of contract and unlawfully witholding your wages, that you will be taking legal advice and considering taking him to an industrial tribunal. Contact ACAS for advice. He's breaking the law. You don't need to give stories to get your wages, if you've worked for it, you're legally entitled to it.
