My spouse works as a medical interpreter from home. She has reached out multiple times with very little communication from the company. They're 3 months of paychecks behind (around $10k). She isn't the only one that it's been happening too either. Not sure if I should do legal action or what. The company is culturalink.

He just came out of a meeting which I assumed he was already upset about, but used his energy to get upset at her. Afterwards, I went to my desk and he went to his. I took a phone call because…
