Default What to do if you don't get paid :(

Well. It's been 2 months. I talked to my boss 2 weekends ago (the saturday before last) and he said he'd get it in the mail.

Well I figured if it didn't come by wed. that it wasn't coming, so I've been calling him, and he refuses to answer. Emailed him, no reply.

What do I do?

Were you officially an employee? Did you get official paychecks with taxes taken out, or was it under the table?

I think I'm just going to eat the money and say forget it. It's not worth it.

If you got paid under the table, you can't go to the state labor association/board/whatever. You might be able to take him to small claims court though.
