Non-payment of wages

[Ted Gibbs]

I was working for "Company A" in Cleveland, OH.. "Company A" closed down and returned to Company A's supposed headquarters city, Pittsburgh, PA. "Company A" left town without paying me some 6 weeks in wages and commissions. "Company A" supposedly has a "Parent Company", located in Wisconsin. Where and who do I start going after to receive owed wages and commissions? Cleveland, OH., Ohio State, Pittsburgh, PA., PA State., Wisconsin. In what court. The total amount is less than a
thousand dollars, so the cost of an attorney would be prohibitive. These people have been putting me off, hanging up, etc..

At this point, go to the corporate headquarters. Bring all paperwork with you and start from there.

Then check each state law: all three states to figure out length of time employer has before they must pay last paycheck. Usually not more than 10 or 14 days. Here is the freeadvice.com site to start with:
