Partners job fired all employees on May 23 and they still have not received their final check. This is illegal, right?

    Has he sent certified mail?

    > If not paid at that time, the employee should contact his or her former employer by certified mail return receipt requested, requesting wages that are due. The employer has seven days to respond to the written request. If the employer does not pay the wages due within the seven days, it will be liable for additional wages to the employee until he or she is finally paid for up to sixty days.

    Perhaps more importantly, did the place go out of business? If they are bankrupt, can’t get blood from a stone.

    Yes. The employees should make a written request for their final paycheck. The employer then has seven days to pay the employee from the date of the request. If the employer does not comply within this timeframe, they could be required to pay additional penalties.

    Might take two weeks depending on the pay cycle

    Depends on state or if the employee was a federal employee.

    Is this a Missouri thing? Why in the hell would it be on the employee to request his final paycheck.
