What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
This is actually a questions concerning one of my relatives, but I figured I'd do some research for her since she's in a bind.
Basically, my sister works for a small firm which relies on a couple of large clients for their cash-flow. When the company doesn't get paid, the employees don't get paid. Employees are supposed to be paid every 2 weeks, but as of now, she hasn't been paid the last 4 pay periods. Does she have any legal recourse? Even if she sued, I'm not sure how the company would pay any damages if they're really that broke. Any suggestions? And yes, she is looking for a new job, but she's in a pretty specialized field.
