Asked on Feb 20th, 2012 on Breach of Contract - Arizona
More details to this question:
I was employed for 4 months with a company and because their training was free they had the ability to keep my last check. I had quote due to unfair labor and then they asked me to work the next month because none of them were available so. I did. I have not received either check but all I want is the tips I earned because we weren''t allowed to switch out our credit tips for cash.

If your employer has failed to pay you wages, then you can proceed one of two ways: First, you can go through the Arizona Industrial Commission to get help making the employer pay you. Second, you can hire a private attorney to obtain a Judgment against your prior employer. If you sue the employer, you may be entitled to three times the amount of your wrongfully withheld/unpaid wages, plus attorney's fees and court costs.
