What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I went to work as a physician in a clinic and after I started working there, I realized that the job was not what they told me it would be. I have a contract which states that I can leave anytime during the first month without written notice and without any reason. I had a good reason. I was very uncomfortable doing the kind of work that they asked me to do. I tried to stick it out and after about a week of being almost in tears at work, my boss asked me about if I thought that I would leave, since I seemed to be so unhappy. I agreed to stay on for a second week to give them a chance to find a new doc.
My boss was part of a partnership and it appears, from what he told me that they got so angry with him and me that they fired him and decided that they were not going to pay me a dime. They even said that he should send me an invoice for the clinic rent and staff salaries! They feel that their lawyers could handle things and I would not need to be paid. My boss said that he would stay on to run the business on his own and that he would pay me himself. Now, it is 2 months later and he won't even return my calls or emails. I don't know what to do. I have tried to be professional through this whole thing. I even offerd to accept smaller payments if he can't afford to pay me the full amount right now. What is the next step? Is there a way to get him to pay me without suing him? It's hard to talk to someone who won't even return your phone calls. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
