Fortunately my husband was able to afford it.

He does enough work on the side that we had a great christmas without him being paid. He was told he'd be paid weekly, then when we expected a check or paypal from the company he got the story that they paid monthly.

When it came time for Vegas he was told that the money was wired to his account from out of the country, We found out this has not happened yet.

The company that has done this knew my husband was screwed around before and they also knew he wasn't going to put up with it again.

Since I started this post my husband has been made aware of my post. He has also contacted another company about employment. There are many companies looking to hire him and at this point he is as tired of being screwed around as I am tired of watching him get screwed around.

Monday there should be a major annoucement about his future. He is negotiating his new pay and benefits. The company that screwed him over this time will be outted monday. The company that screwed him before he went to this company will also be outted for thier pay tactics and the way they treated me and my husband when he worked for them too.

I am not only making this post to get my husband paid for the work he does but many people in this business are in the same boat. It's sad but because of this there could be major changes in this industry as we are speaking to labor attorneys and finding out very interesting information.

So far we have learned:

Signing a contract while waiting for pay is considered signing under duress and the courts normally throw such contracts out. The courts also can charge the employers that do this with non payment of wages and charge the employer the wages and interest.

We also learned that any company that works an employee over 80 hours a week away from home must pay a per diem pay outside of the normal wages and not just cover hotel and meals.

Those two points above are very interesting to us since the last company he worked for seems to think because they forced us into a contract in order to get paid that they are oblivious to further prosecution.

I suggest if these facts fits the way you have treated one of your employees then you should be watching out because we are about to make sure we get paid whats owed us.

My husband at this point is behind my posting.
