What do you do if an employer doesn’t pay you?
I worked for a steakhouse that closed down and stayed over to help with some of the finishing touches (paperwork cleaning sending back documents etc.) in which the guy closing us wrote down all of our hours on a piece of paper. There was about 8 of us in all and it’s been months. None of us have recieved anything for those hours. We have called and nothing has helped us out.

Given the fact that your former employer has not paid you for what is owed, I suggest that you consult with a labor law attorney and/or a representative with your local department of labor to bring a claim against the former employer for unpaid wages.
