When I Was Let Go, I Closed A Deal Saying I Couldn't Prosecute For Just About Any Reason. Today They Truly Are Breaking What The Law States. May I Sue?

or place one more way: Does function legislation trump any agreement?The day I was laid off, they threw inside an additional pay period if I signed a two-web page waiver, declaring "worker agrees to not commence, join, or lead to to be started case or any action as a result of any alleged illegal conduct"...listed right here is their crime: The day I was laid off, they owed me five salaries. They still owe me 4. Workers let go should certanly be paid completely within twenty four hours in my personal condition. It has been 30 days.Can I begin the filing procedure with the division of perform, or have I waived that appropriate?

FuzzyGold mentioned: 3 They owe you four pay periods. If you do nothing you drop them.If you do anything and they prevail you must only lose the one particular pay period you received for signing.Never bother contacting them just speak to the Dept of Labor. The worst case would be they tell you they can do practically nothing but the very best case is you get paid for almost everything with out hiring a lawyer. 57 months ago

The waiver states "employee agrees not to start, join, or cause to be started a lawsuit or any action arising from any *alleged* unlawful conduct"...It seems to me that the conduct is not just *alleged* to be unlawful, it is in fact unlawful. A good lawyer can get you out of this.

UDontNoMe said: 4 In Canada, the Labor Board is pretty much separate from the Courts of Law. If you file a grievance against an employer; have very good proof that they do indeed owe you the monies; list everything that you have done to get your money from them; all this goes through the Labor Board. If your former employer is found to have done something wrong, they will notify the employer. On the other hand, if they lose and don't pay, then the Labor Board can take them to the Supreme Court to get the money. It takes a lot of proof i.e.. hours worked, pay stubs, bank statements if it was direct deposit, proof you are at the same address, etc. I mention the address part as it is a frequent excuse--well, we sent him/her the money and Record of Employment, but they moved around so much since working here we have been unable to locate this person. 57 months ago

No contract trumps state law.(Didn't you see the movie "Liar Liar"?) If they have broken state labor law by not paying you your wages, they have broken the law. Their piddly "contract" means nothing up against the laws of the state they are operating in. The stinkin' managers were hoping to have it both ways. Don't let them.   danielpauldavis 57 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment. Please verify your account to give a compliment. Please sign in to send a message.
