What to do if I didn’t get paid?
I noticed my direct deposit had not gone through on payday, and questioned my employer. He said that since there was no time card, I must not have worked. I remember working, and I remember clocking in and out that weekend. I deserve what I worked for and feel as if my employer is trying to stiff me.
