i have not been paid since December 16th, and that in result has made me late on pretty much all my bills- I have gotten extensions on a lot of them like power, gas, phone. I received a letter for eviction a few days ago though if I don’t pay within a certain timeframe. And I had court this past week and now am going “back to trial” since I didn’t have the full amount ready. I have never been more stressed and I am trying so hard to keep my mental health okay.
I read it’s not the employers fault I live paycheck to paycheck so I can’t really do anything but I genuinely don’t know what to do and I am trying to read on my states laws and I think it said 30 days they have to pay you but somewhere else I saw employers might be allowed 90 days? I emailed my employers HR towards the end of December and was told it would be in the next paycheck and I received nothing. So I finally set up direct deposit and was supposed to get it yesterday and have received nothing. It has been confirmed they were never sent out and something with my clock in and out punches were not received correctly and I am down to take responsibility because I should have made sure but no one told me that was the issue like before the paycheck was supposed to go out and I do clock in and out everyday so I am honestly confused what happened but I understand that’s on me. I just don’t know if that affects my claim since I guess that’s on me?
I just am frustrated and really scared at this point. Any advice or am I the problem lol.
