So my boyfriend and I worked at a Copelands (restaurant) for a short period of time. My boyfriend worked roughly 40 or so hours with them and I maybe worked 15. He decided to leave due to a manager who blew up on him (it was a mess, the manager sits on the slot machines all day and only comes into the kitchen to blow up on people) and I decided to do the same and I ended up just no call/no show.
It's been roughly 3 weeks and the Copelands still hasn't mailed us our checks. I reached out through Indeed and asked today when will we receive our payment for time worked.
I live in Louisiana and I'm honestly not familiar with labor laws, but I know they cannot withhold our checks like that. Is there a way I can report the restaurant for not paying us if they don't respond and won't send our checks?
