As I understand it limited the Feds will only help you get Minimum Wage and I have no idea what Texas law does for this again I digress to the JD types. 4. Can they make their case to the public by naming this service and if so what are the acceptable guidelines? Of course the facts and only the facts are all that is acceptable but what good does it do save for making a bad situation worse and maybe making the grunts feel better, I doubt it would help anything. 5. What would you do in this case? Seek gainful employment elsewhere even if I get paid in full. I always said you get one missed paycheck and or bounced check in my book. Louis N.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Go see a mean, nasty lawyer immediately. File against them in Small Claims court and get on the way to getting a judgment against them. Judgment creditors line up in front of general creditors in bankruptcy. Once you get a judgment, you can see if they have any assets. GG > > In a message dated 11/26/2007 8:25:17 P.M. Central Standard Time, > medic_34255@medic_342 writes: > > 1.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 OK, when employees of a certain non emergent service in South Texas went to collect their pay on Friday instead of a check they were given a memo from the owners instead. The memo was about how this service had been involved in Medicare and Medicaid investigation for several months and had been cleared of all possible charges but have received no significant funds. Therefore all employees would just have to wait until the check from Medicare was received before they themselves would be paid. This is a 1200 + call a month service. Now questions for the group: 1. Is this legal? 2. Are they entitled to additional funds? 3. What options do they have to collect pay? 4. Can they make their case to the public by naming this service and if so what are the acceptable guidelines? 5. What would you do in this case?
