I worked contract this summer until August 27.
I was paid for that day's work, but not the previous week.
My one-page contract stated I was to be paid every week.
It now is 60+ days, and I am still owed $1300+ for one week's work.
The employees there are still getting paid, but they are working "short" hours. I have no idea how reduced the "short" hours are.
I was told via email I would be paid the first week of November. This was back on October 8. I have no idea whether that means that is when I will receive the check or when it will be mailed out. Stupid me did not press for more precise dates.
I sent an email this Monday asking for an update, and it has been radio silence. I also left voicemails today Friday but there may not be anyone in the office due to the "short" hours.
This client was in Pennsylvania. I am in NJ.
I am contemplating filing in small claims court in PA. It will cost me about $140. The court tells me it is 60-days before the case will come up.
Should I file now or wait?
If I wait, how much longer do I wait?
