call labour relations (That's what it is called in Canada) and explain your situation, they will take care of it for free and make sure that they don't screw someone else around next time.  Also make sure that you have all of the paperwork to back up your side of the story, dates, times worked and anuthing else that might come up.  That way you will have the best case possible.  If you win he could also be fined, so even calling him and making that threat could be efective enough.  If he has done this before and been investigated, it could cause him alot of trouble that he won't want.

open your phone book go to labor relations if ya can't find that, talk to the employer  (BE NICE) and then if no luck go to small claims court you don't need an attorney and the cost is about $45. to file be sure to sue for court cost too so ya can recover your filling fee and cost of copies of paper work or whatever. You must have proof of all that you are going after though. Good luck

If I were you, contact the Ministry or Department of Labour as soon as possible. They take these actions very seriously and your company can be faced with huge fines (I mean huge fines), workers compensations, and also lawsuits that you can file. \n\nContact the Ministry/Department of Labour immediately and report this to them. Its you rights to know what is happening to you and you deserve every right no matter what.

Where are you?  That makes a huge difference.  If you signed a contract you need to check and see if there is a clause in there about that.  To be really sure you need to contact a lawyer in your area that specializes in labor law.  It varies so much from country to country and even state to state in the U.S.

I think everyone here is on the right track.\n\nYou need to contact the local Labor board and check on them. You may be able to sue him for the pay, the lack of a 2 week notice before termination, and lack of a in writing letter of termination outlying the reasons. May want to talk to a lawyer and see what the rights are in your county to see what you are able to do from here.\n\nGood luck!

First of all I'd recommend you come up with a contract for clients. Right now you are using verbal agreements and emails as you said above. That will hold up to some degree but to put everything in writing and having your client sign a contract with you before the job ensures your payment one way or another. The emails will hold up in small claims court but you may end up with less than your bill states because you did not have a solid written contract with your client. In the end the it will be your word against his with the emails swaying it your way. Though again, get agreements in writing to have a record of the transaction. With that situations like this will be very easy to resolve without alot of hassle and "he said, she said". Good luck and next time get it in writing.

if you want to speed up the process get a lawyer for yourself, or at least find a pre law student that is willing to help you learn about the laws of your case.  If you want to get the attn of the other guy's lawyer...hahahahaha  I worked in a law office for a few months it was a trip!  Lawyers are all bs and smoke.  Return a call, the only lawyer that ever even cared about me really, was one that was a friend of my family since he had been a kid!  That lawyer is working for the other guy not you so he isn't going to work any faster than what they guy is paying him, god awful truth!  Good Luck because if you don't have a lawyer of your own you'll need it.  as for getting any money right away you might as well look somewhere else, even if you are awarded any money if the guy who is supposed to pay you doens't have it, you might be getting it in payments over a period of time.....\nhope this helped a little good luck

Contact a legal nurse, who can draw up an agreement. Also, an attorney can do this.

you need to contact your local wage and labor board. There is absolutley no tolerance for that kind of behavior. If you can't afford a lawyer, at least give the gov a heads up on your nasty employer.

Since you have potential liability issues, wouldn't common sense tell you that you should consult with an attorney who specializes in labor law in your area?\n\nIf you want personal opinions, fine, but you are asking a legal question and your actions could have serious consequences. \n\nWas the candy for Halloween at the home?  Did you require her to work through her lunch or not leave the premises and bought her lunch as compensation?  What was your arrangement with her?\n\nYou left a lot unsaid here.

What you need to do is document it, keep a record.   I would file a complaint with the labor board.

Sueing the company you're working for never looks good on an employee unless you have a really strong case.  You might want to talk to your boss about some sort of medical comensation before even considering sueing.  Taking the matter to court should be your last option, especially when you have built a great relationship with your boss and have put hard work into where you are.  I'm sure someone in your company would listen to your case, as it does sound serious.  Things might be able to be handled much simpler without even taking it that far.

Make it known to those who are forcing you that you disagree with this solution.  Do so TACTFULLY and make sure to back up your argument with facts and figures.  I would present this protest in written form.  If this doesn't work and your forced to continue, at least you have a written document of your protest and your reasons why.  This may help you from being the "fall guy", at least minimize your culpability if the "client" takes some sort of legal action.  Also, if there are any co-workers who agree with you, try to get them to "sign on" with you.  Good Luck!
