So yesterday afternoon, I was fired when I sent an email asking for the status of payroll. I had been working for over 60 days not without compensation. I used to get checks via ADP from the company but its been 2 months since they were able to make payroll.
When I asked for SOME funding since I'm starting to get letters from my Car Loan, my boss fired me.
How long do they have by law to pay what's owed to me? If they are not paying me, they are not paying the government, my IRA, or insurance. As of my fired date, they owe me apx $6,500 gross.
A fellow coworker mentioned to me that since I was FIRED their time frame has shrunk.
A little help with this situation would help. How would I enforce any of this?
Thank you.

It sounds like the company is having financial problems.
It is basically a collections situation. You need to send a certified letter to a senior manager. Keep is plain and simple....I worked from date X to Y and have not yet been paid for this time. Please make payment immediately.
That is it. Do everything in WRITING. Not emails, text messages, phone calls or smoke signals.
If they do not respond in 7 days, send a second letter with a note that they have not responded to the first letter.
After that leave a voice mail every DAY for at least five people with the company. Again real simple, Hi I am calling regarding the back pay I am owed please take care of this matter as soon as possible. Do not get sidetracked.
Then if they do nothing after 10 days. Send the state bureau of labor copies of the letters you have sent. You might have to take them to small claims court or talk to an attorney.

humorous. :-D jogs my memory a splash Douglas Adams: "interior the beginning up, the universe become created. This has made a brilliant form of people very offended and has been considerably called a nasty pass."

...you can look it up with the dept. of labor...and you can also file against them...and obviously an unemployment check is well deserved...damn...I know so many people going through that right now...makes you wonder what is going on in our economy.
