- Q. How long does an employer have to pay you expenses owed if you are getting paid per diem?
- A: There is not necessarily a set answer to this. Per diem pay / expense reimbursement can be tricky, and depends on the specific employment policy or agreement in place. They can also interact with overtime laws in complicated ways. I would suggest reaching out to a local employment attorney for more information.
- Q. If employer owns 2 stores do they have to pay overtime if splitting time between & 2 different checks?
- A: It is very likely that this is a legal violation which would allow you to recover lost wages and penalties, but I would need a few more facts to know for sure. We've represented workers in similar cases with good results. Feel free to email or call for more information.
- Q. If u work for a company and u don't get paid how long does the company have until your able to sue
- A: Strictly speaking, there's no minimum time limit before suing, but it almost never makes sense to just file suit without taking certain steps first to ensure you've positioned yourself in the best possible manner. Jumping straight to filing a legal action is rarely the best or most efficient way to proceed.
But as is often the case, the answers to these questions can be highly specific and you should reach out to a local labor attorney to discuss your personal circumstances.
