Last paycheck and unpaid wages / benefits



Our firm handles what many lawyers refer to as “last paycheck” cases and other actions involving unpaid wages, commissions, or bonuses.

“Last paycheck” cases are exactly what the term suggests: cases where an employer fails to pay a departing or terminated employee his or her last paycheck. As you might guess, this is illegal and unfair to the employee who was relying on that paycheck. This situation occurs all too frequently and often involves an unscrupulous employer who is either upset at the employee for some reason or simply chooses not to pay the employee his or her last paycheck as a cost-saving measure. Whatever the reason, failure to pay a last paycheck or other owed wages violates the law.
