It's been 4 weeks of work and I still haven't been paid, they pay direct, another girl at my work will have been there 2 months by the time she get's paid, and another friend who works for the same store but in T.D has also been working there for a month and a half and no paycheck, many others have had this problem as well, what should we do?

call the labour board and tell them your situation.you might be on hold for a while.they can direct you in the right direction.either way your going to be waiting a while before you see any cash but at least it will be a lump sum

alright, i found a package that i got a while ago from the labour board. here is what it says:

payment of wages:

employees must be paid not later than 10 days after the end of each pay period.

no deduction can be made from an employee's earnings for:

1. faulty workmanship
or
2. cash shortages or loss of property if anyone other than the employee had access to the cash or property

i have a whole little kit on the stuff, if you want we could mabye meet and you can have it. it has everything you need.

pm me if you want it.

Form a Union!!!!, Seriously, if there are many of you haven't been paid i would take legal action. Honestly, if i wasn't paid after 2 weeks i would have left. Obviously the company dosen't have the neccesary cashflow to pay out their employees. The company could claim bankruptcy, which could mean you worked for free :eek:.

Where do you work?? Go hassle the management. If the don't sort things out ASAP, go to labour board.

I work at Bluenotes, it's so easy, thanks for the info, I guess I should take action asap, thing is they really like me and the assistant manager got sent to another store as a manager and picked me to help her, that's why i don't wanna be an ass to them, but i gotta get that money.

Thanks guys

Which is why you should always keep track of your hours. ALWAYS. Never assume that they're nice and/or smart enough not to screw you over. Ever since I started keeping track of my hours at any job, I was suprised at how many hours/days that were left out of my pay.

From previous experience, this looks like an indication that the store is going to go into receivership/bankruptcy/closing down. The board and/or owners might be trying to pay down their larger debts to the bigger creditors first (employees are considered creditors when a company shuts down or is at that final stage before closing for monetary reasons), which explains why you guys aren't getting paid :thumbsdow

Same here. I lost hundreds because they didn't pay me for an hour here and there. When I started keeping track they got pissed off cause they had to pay me. Bitches.

How the hell did they get pissed off?? Like what did they do?
