[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worst case you can sue. I know someone who won such a case of of unpaid wages in DC pro se, so the courts take it seriously [/quote]

Suing will be tough since the company is in Illinois. [/quote]

It doesn't matter where the company is. The state where you work for them would be an appropriate jurisdiction to bring suit in. And they have to have a registered agent to accept service in every jurisdiction that they do business in. [/quote]

Yes but contracts often have jurisdiction requirements where the employment is in a different state and no one knows what OPs arrangements are. There may be a contract and maybe not. I was just pointing out that with so little information it might not be as easy as people implied. [/quote]

If they aren't paying her, they aren't going to pay a lawyer to fight a lawsuit for this small amount of money. She should file in small claims court near her, and let them come in to argue that's not the correct jurisdiction. What's more likely is they will at least pay her something in exchange for dropping the suit.[/quote]
