Hello Everyone, Actually the issue i am going through is, I am a student and I worked in Pakistanis store at Manhattan for like 3 months but he never gave money on time now the problem is that because of his this late payment I left the job. I still need $900 to take from him as my salary but now he is saying that he don't have money and I cannot give you. He even said, you are illegal and you cannot work and you cannot do nothing to me. Is there anyone who can help me what kind of action can I take him to get my money back and I being in a same side. Anyones comment will be much more appreciated.

Hey Kcshabi, its even BIGGER "illegal" on his part to give job to the one who doesn't have work permit. Here, he is in more vulnerable position than you are. He would be fined thousands of dollars for his act. As for you, since you are a full time student, you'll just get a warning. Tell that Pakisthani how bad his position is and also tell him that you are going to make complain in the Labor Department. If he does not get it then lodge a complain to the Labor Department. They will probably not ask you whether you were working legally or illegally because its not their business. Their job is to make sure that workers are paid and paid appropriately. But, they'll bust that Pakistani's ass for sure. Last edited: 10-Aug-09 09:03 PM

I concur with rationale. Your first attempt would be to intimidate him by telling him its a serious problem if he don't pay you. Depending on which state you are in contact the office of labor commission and report the matter. You will have to fill up forms such as this one http://www.laborcommissioner.c... He will also be fined by the INS for knowingly hiring an unauthorized person to work which will cost him $10k (don't quote me on this I think the amount has changed). But you have to report it. You can also bring up more charges since you have been exploited. Try talking to a lawyer but since its a small amount it's not worth to hire a lawyer. But be sure to inform him about the consequences he will face. He would most probably pay you. But you will also get yourself in trouble since you have work without authorization if your employer plans to hire a lawyer. Good luck.

Hello Rationale, Thanks for your comment but I would like to make confirm that are you sure if I contact Labor Department then they are not going to take any action against me since I am an International student?

Hello atro, I am in New York state. But atro, if i take action against him will i get my money back or not? Because you know $900 for student is a huge amount.
