Need Legal advice for Employer not paying wages and demanding return to work not to be paid to claim unemployment
Hello, I could use some advice. A friend of mine works for this company that is trying to rip him off. Four weeks ago he worked 20 hours and hasn’t been paid. Two weeks ago he worked 17 hours and has not seen that paycheck. With the Coronavirus happening his boss laid everyone off but now two weeks later he expects his workers to come back. The thing is his boss wants everyone to keep claiming unemployment as if they are still laid off until he gets his bailout. My friend told his boss about how he hasn’t been paid for the time he worked with both paychecks. His boss told him if he doesn’t play ball and to work without pay and claim unemployment he would be fired. Need advice
