What is the name of your state? Georgia
I did a couple of jobs in June for a company who was supposed to pay on July 15th. The recruiter never submitted my work for me to be paid. When I noticed that it was not showing up as pending, I contacted them. They said they sent me numerous emails to turn in my paperwork. I asked them for proof of the emails and sent them proof that I had sent in my work. They could not provide proof of their statements.
Now they are saying I have to wait until August 15th to be paid and yet, the work is still not showing up in my online profile as pending payment (which it should). It is a very small amount but I did do the work and am entitled to be paid. Does the Labor Department have any jurisdiction over independent contractors ? Or would I have to take them to small claims court ?
The last time I worked for them I received a bunch of emails from other contractors who were upset that their jobs had been disqualified for payment (mine wasn't). So this company makes me nervous.
