If a former employer owes me money, can I file that in small claims court? I was offered a sales position in an industry I have been in for 6 years. The job had an $800/week guarantee plus $120/week gas/vehicle reimbursement. This company had a different approach to prospecting than I have ever done and received no training at all and was let go after 4 1/2 days. The company is based in N. Kansas City, MO. The branch manager here in Dallas, TX promised me a full week of pay and said there was nothing he could do about the termination. He told me in a text message I would be mailed a check, but here it is almost a month later and nothing. I spoke with the payroll department this week and they know nothing of the matter and now nobody will return any calls.

Sure you can sue. Your chances of success however are another matter. What do you have in writing that guaruntees this pay?
