Answer 1

Get a lawyer and a new job.

Answer 2

Easier said than done: Find a job where you are appreciated.
Once, my check wasn't good at the bank. I took it to my employer immediately and said "let me know when this is cashable, I'll come back to work then." He had my check in cash at his office 30 minutes later. I've worked for other mom and pop type places, from time to time they couldn't pay me on time but I loved the people I worked for and believed in what we were doing. And they always told me before "hey don't deposit this until monday." They were truthful, and not pushy and high pressure. Seriously, you don't need that stress. Check your local labor board to find out how long he has to pay you legally.
Look at it this way. You're performing a service, sort of like the electric company. If you don't pay the electric bill, what happens? They cut you off. They consider it a liability. Which is what you should do.
And, DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT. If you're being promised bonuses and incentives, write it down (discreetly). Then, if you have access paperwork showing you met those goals, keep that too. At least you'll have some tangible evidence should you have to sue. But, to give you an idea of the recourse you have, google "First Magnus". Those guys are waiting in a looooong line. Which is why you should protect yourself.

Answer 3

The human resources dept. is the one to complain to, if the company has one. Otherwise go to the boss, request your paycheck for the houses worked, or you'll take him to small claims court (where the judge WILL find in favor of you and the boss will have to pay all court costs). Being an employee means you're going to be PAID, not expected to work for free. If the paychecks are not on time, you can also complain to you someone else, can't think of which area of city government it is, but if you call your local SCORE or SBA office, they'll be able to tell you.

Answer 4

Like vis says, turn them into the Wage and Hours Board of the State. How long has this been going on. If you continue to report to work, start keeping track of your own hours, and try to reconstruct the records of the hours you have worked. Ask the new boss who is hovering over you these questions. Tell him you and your family are suffering because you haven't received your pay and you don't know how much longer you can keep on this way.
