What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? USVI
The company I work for owes all the employees paychecks and tip money from months ago. We were told that if we ask for our money owed, then we can look for another job. What is your advice?
Adding more info. I make my money through tips...not much in wages. My tips are not covered by DOL. There is a possibility that the company will make it until our good season, where we will begin making money again. This and the fact that there are no other jobs is a reason the owner feels that he can threaten us with termination for asking for our paycheck. He knows he has us in a position. This is our off season, and combined with the economy, there are no other job openings.
