Go the legal route. Talk to an attorney or tax advisor. If you go to your ex-employer's home, call him, etc. he can file a harassment suit against you (and that would be much more expensive and look bad on your employment record/background check). You can send him a bill/invoice (make sure you keep a record of this) for collection purposes. Make sure it is straight forward and there are no personal jibes, threats, etc. as that could be used against you later. Just state the amount owed, what it's for, and a timeline it needs to be paid within.\nYou might be able to put a lien against his business, etc. and make him pay for any attorney fees/court costs depending on how much is owed and what kind of documentation/proof you have. Don't wait too long to do this because the statute of limitations on this is rather short.\nThe important thing here is not to look like a disgruntled ex-employee. You want to come across as a professional just looking to recoupe what is truly owed.

Tell your employer that you will resign, if they will agree to pay unemployment.\n\nThen tell the unemployment office that you were laid off. You will then get benefits.\n\nTake care,\nTroy

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!

I know being in michigan that an employer can tell other places of business that yes, you did work at that company and the dates worked there.  They CANNOT state whether you have been fired or quit.  They CANNOT state how you worked at that place of business or they CANNOT say what type of person you are or if you have any jail time.  Seek legal cousel if you think you had an unjustice.  They may be able to steer you in the right direction.

Contact your local Human Resources department.  You should have received it by now...either in the mail or attached to one of your pay checks.

From your employer -- there are no online databases with this info... I know, I looked in January with no avail. Look on an old paystub.

Well, if the facts are as you've described you should consult an attorney regarding the filing of a wrongful termination suit.  Of course, if the company can't pay its bills what's the point?\n\nFile for unemployment -- if your former employer is stupid enough to contest appeal to the Labor Relations board in your state/community -- and find a better job.

I'm from California so it maybe a bit different.  I got laid off a few months ago and I claimed unemployment.  Just go to your Government website (www.MI.gov) and fill out the claim. You should be good to go.  Good Luck

Start at your local Worksource or Unemployment agency.  They will be able to answer your questions and allow the person to move on with their lives.  Frequently there are agencies that will post a bond to the employee, in the case of a store or something along those lines.\n\nUsually, Fast Food (I know it is crappy work), Construction companies, and a lot of places don't check your background.  Good Luck

Go to the department of labor website for your state, and find the link for unemployment office.  If online filing is available, that is where it will be.

Try to contact the IRS or look at your 2004 tax return to see where his W-2 was from and then contact his employer.

I would recommend contacting your payroll department first.  They usually coordinate this.  You could also try speaking with your old union steward.  If you do need to contact the union, however, you could try the following for a letter:\n\n\nYour address\nCity, State zip\nJune 23, 2006\n\n\nVia [e-mail, U.S. Mail, hand-delivery, fax, etc.]\nUnion Name\nATTN:  Treasurer\nUnion Address\nCity, State Zip\n[if e-mail or fax, put e-mail address or fax number here]\n\nDear Sir or Madam:\n\nThe purpose of this letter is to request that you stop deducting union dues from my check.\n\nPlease be advised that I have been employed in a non-union position since [date here].  Because I have not been a union member since [date here], it is my understanding that I am no longer required to pay union dues.\n\nPlease let me know if there is anything further I need to do to expedite this request.\n\nIf you have any questions or require anything further, please feel free to e-mail me at [e-mail address here] or call me directly at [cellphone, office phone or both here].\n\nThank you.\n\nSincerely yours,\n\n\n[your name here]\n\ncc:  [employer name here], Payroll Dept.\n\nGood luck!
