What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I was hired by a company that stated they paid all "holiday's & Vacation"pay after 1 full year of service.They did not have health benefits.
After my year of service {never took off work} I requested when will I receive my vacation & holiday pay~~~1st) they told me they didnt know how to pay me because I was the 1st over the road driver they ever had and that they would have to check into it.A few weeks went by and I questioned again.They then told me that the brokers or the main account we had was not paying,and again they would let me know.
A month {after my year of service} I called again,and was then told "We are not going to pay you" because of the economy.In fact no one else within the company will be paid.
I then spoke with terminal managers,other drivers and of course freinds within the company and all of them has taken their vacation & was also paid for holidays after my inquiries. I made more money than them and feel they singled me out because of this.
I have on the company letterhead the written policy on vacation pay and also another drivers paycheck stub which shows holiday & vacation pay after the company told me they were not paying anyone. I understand that the company can choose to opt out on paying vacations if they want to,but is it fair that everyone else is paid and I'm not?
From what I figured they owe me $5083.00 which is too much money for me to just kick out the window.
What are my resources?
Doe's anyone know how I can retreive whats owed to me?
I have contacted the workforce commission and now we play the waiting game {6-9 months}.
Thank You
