[QUOTE="Krieg, post: 1590572, member: 5282"] From a practical standpoint none of that matters. If they can't afford to pay your salary, they're not going to be able to afford to pay any settlement you may receive in a civil court. In the end you're not going to get even a fraction of your back pay, let alone your benefits. By staying and sticking it out in the faint hope that someday they'll get it together, you are only going to screw yourself in the end. Winning a lawsuit is great in theory...but when you come out of it in the hole because the loser doesn't have any means of paying the settlement, and you still owe your lawyer untold legal fees...theory quickly dims to the harsh cold of reality. What do I expec them to do? I expect them to be proactive & take responsibility for their own lives. Sorry but I've been in their shoes. When I was younger I worked for a company in financial trouble that was having problems meeting payroll. After the second missed check I went out, found a menial job (that paid substantially less) & immediately tendered my resignation. Two weeks later I received a paycheck from my new employer. My former co-workers received nothing. Two months later I was hired by a competitor of my former employer making a little bit more than my previous salary. My former co-workers received nothing. Two years later I was still working full time. My former co-workers filed a class action suit against our former employer...they never received another dime. If you continue to work for a company that is not paying you....you hve no one to blame but yourself. Do whatever it takes to find work & support your family, swallow your pride, go out & flip hamburgers for $8 an hour if you have to. Don't waste your time waiting for a paycheck that will never come.
