[quote=Anonymous]Before you go through the headache of small claims court, you might call the department of labor in your jurisdiction. I don't know about DC, but in CA they will investigate reports of unpaid wages, force employers to pay, and impose fines and penalties (some of which will flow to you as the person who was not paid). If you do go to small claims court, they generally do not allow you to use a lawyer (and it's not worth it anyway). You don't need a contract if you have texts or anything in writing acknowledging the basic terms of your arrangement and/or the hours that you worked. Keep every piece of correspondence (text, email, etc.) that you have. Also, you should immediately make a log of all of the hours you worked and all of your conversations with these people before you forget any details. I'm sorry you have to deal with this, but I am confident you will get paid, one way or another. Good luck![/quote]
