Open Question: Unpaid work hours and threaten?
Monday, July 25th, 2011My ex boss placed down some tickets which a month later lost but because he claims to be always right on all he does. To cover his back and walk free out of this, he accused me of stilling them and fired my wife and me. Now, after over a month of being fired I still haven’t got two checks worth about $900 & $120 on fees from a bounced check (I have proved of my hours). He’s told me that I will not see the checks until I pay those tickets he lost and even threaten me trying to humiliate me. I’d spoken to the owner of the restaurant on a very professional way, but he’s let all this go through my ex boss and claimed to be the owner but not really involve in the restaurant.
My ex boss assures to have video me taking them, which I know he doesn’t at all, cuz I didn’t do it.
I’m a married 24 year old guy who goes to college and have a 3 year old son. This man took our only income and if it wasn’t for my college savings I wouldn’t know how to pay my rent, utilities, food, etc. we are unemployed and I’m looking bad on paying my next semester’s tuition.
I have proved that I’m a man of my word and a hard worker. I want to do what’s right with this situation but I don’t know what to do.
PLEASE HELP ME!! I REALY NEED MY MONEY AND JUSTES
(I live in Florida, Palm Beach County, City of West Palm Beach)
