An employer in Northbrook, Illinois told the federal government they paid me X amount via my W2. There remained a credit of Y amount on my final paycheck. Though I have met all requirements to receive the final credit of Y amount, the employer will not release. The employer claims the amount was "pre-paid commission" to be reimbursed with future "earned commission". There were no commissions earned. With no commissions being earned, the amount Y shown as a credit on my last pay statement won't be paid. Okay, I can live with this. But, isn't the employer in violation of a federal statute for claiming to have paid me X, and reporting X on my W2, when the employer actually paid me less than X?
What is my recourse?
Is there a meaningful suit that can be filed against employer?
Should I simply deduct the unpaid credit of Y from my earned income for tax filing purposes?
