Hi guys, I used to work at a restaurant. Its already been two months since I quit my job and my boss hasn't paid me yet. She keeps telling me to come another week. Today I called the cops on them. Apparently, there is nothing the cops can do either. They said its a civil matter and you should go to the court. I told them I was being paid under the table so going to court is not really an option. They told that it wouldn't matter. Then, all of a sudden, my boss calls me and says I need to fill out form 1099. I don't know what that is or what I should be my next step. Should I go to court or state labor department? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

dude it will take you months if not years to get your money. Just file a petition for non payment in civil court and take it from there. Find a free lawyer..they are all over the place. Also tell them you will go to all local papers if you have to. Write a official letter explain all your woes in detail. Register and send to them. Explain you are being forced to knock on the court and local media. Send that letter wtih a tracking # or make sure you have proof of delivery. This usually works out without court involved. If they come to negoting table ask for your salaray and compounded interest on it for the time not paid. This thread has been going on too long you have more than enough advices..at this time if I were you I would start my process (whatever it is) or just bite the bullet.

Brilliant! Now I'm about to pen something about these sobs myself. Good thing you shared the morons' location and reveled their names. I believe a court will provide you with a lawyer if you can't afford one. Yo dhoti haru lai thik nabanai nahune bhayo. Jata pani Nepali lai pelne. But then again, I've heard of Nepalese who've really underpaid their compatriots too. Tara ya, you've got our backings bro. Go to the civil court first and take it from there. Tesai chodne ta kurai bhayena ni [Disallowed String for - use not allowed] haru lai.

I have an update guys. I went to U.S. Department of Labor Wages and Hours Division. I talked to a lady over there and she recommended I go to Labor Standards Enforcement in City Hall. So I went over there and talked to one of the investigators. I also explained that I wasn't using my social to work there. He told me that San Francisco is an amnesty city. In San Francisco, everybody is entitled to minimum wage regardless of their immigration status. And its their problem because they were paying you under the table. The court won't ask for any of those details. So, there are two cases. One for paying me less than minimum wage and another for not paying the last three paychecks. The claim came out to be five grands. I and the investigator from City Hall went to the restautant with the audit letter. But they didn't pay. They started to make excuses. So my investigator issued him $500 10 day notice letter. We are awaiting their response. The investigator says, they are unlikely to pay you. So we are planning to file a lawsuit against them next week in the State Court.

Hope you got paid. Most Indian/Chinese restaurant owner pay less and always keep the tips specially paid by credit card. Man life sucks.
