I reside in the state of Oregon. I recently had the misfortune of a verbal work contract not working out after a trial period. I had accumulated 112 hrs when I let the guy know that I wouldn't be working with him as of the next day. He asked me to let him know how many hours he owes and I sent him a text with the information that same day.
After 2 days, I text massaged him wanting to know when to expect my payment. When he responded (4 days later) he asked for my address(which he already knew), hours worked, I-9 and 2 pieces of ID. I called him and though he did't answer, I left him a voice massage and told him that I wasn't an employee and hadn't signed any contract to make me one so I didn't understand why he asked for these documents.
After trying to contact him again, he said that he will send me a check after I send him the documents he asked for to an email that he gave me on the said text. He also said that I wont be able to contact him on the phone again. True to his word, he blocked me.
I reached out to him a week ago through a common friend and he said he would mail the check. I haven't seen the check or heard from him so far and I sent him an email yesterday asking for any information regarding the matter and didn't hear back.
I am planning on sending him a final notice email informing him that if I don't hear from him by Friday the 8th, I will take legal action to recover my owed money and legal fees.
What should I be aware of and what's the best way to work this out?
Any info is appreciated, thanks.
