I live in Indiana.
To start at the beginning I worked for my ex employer from March 2012 to March 2013 when I resigned with 2 weeks notice. After putting in my two weeks notice on March 27 I was told to return all the equipment and that my last day of work would be March 29. The contract that I signed with my employer states that I am "to be paid $2,000.00 a month" salaried. I sent a demand letter on April 5th via email and certified mail and received a response with a letter saying that they did not owe me any money and that for the month of March I was paid on Feb 28 and Mar 15. Now to me that sounds like they have "pre-paid" me for my work to be completed which was never agreed upon at any point. When I asked them about that they stated that they do not "pre-pay" employees and that I still was owed no money.
I am seeking my final wages of $1,000.00 and damages allowed by law in Indiana of 10% of the original amount per day not exceeding double the original claim.
I have little to no experience with this and do not have the money to afford a lawyer and am in dire need of my final wages.
Thanks for the help!
