So, a few months back I posted about how I worked for a guy who didn’t want to pay me, and I can officially say I’ve now been paid and everything is done.
So the original post is linked, and I wanted to answer some questions.
Big question: what’s the final amount I got? After 4 months of fighting to get paid the $172, I ended up getting two checks, one for $174, and another for $480
Why isn’t it more: The state was way, way, way too nice to him and let him off easy. He was one day away from having to pay full penalties, after ignoring them for 48 days, because they wanted to give him more time, he replied, didn’t send the payment for 2.5 more weeks, and basically got away because the state let him.
Since then, his company has reviews from more employees after I quit, all of them negative saying he treats his employees terrible, has issues paying them properly, and is one of the worst people that they’ve ever worked for.
TL:DR: Worked for a guy, was majorly sketched out by it, he didn’t pay me for 4 months, I got paid for the 8 hours I worked and an additional 3 days of pay.
