If you're in Texas, contact the Texas Workforce Commission. They can collect for you.

You should be paid within 24 hours after your employment is terminated, 48 if you voluntarily quit. If you have not been paid you can file a claim with Bureau of Labor.

Contact Labor and Industries Wage and Hour Division and tell them you have not been paid by your employer. You could also hire an attorney to pursue your employer. When you leave an employer in Washington, you have to be paid by the next regularly scheduled pay day. Failure to pay wages due entitles you to double damages and attorneys fees.

This is an easy one. If I were you, I would get an attorney, today. Attorneys will take these cases, as the employer who was so stupid that he or she wanted to save a few bucks by depriving you of the salary you earned, will end up paying your attorney his or her fees on top of paying your salary. I hate seeing former employees make fraudulent claims against an employer, as employers have a hard time with some scavengers who pursue these kinds of cases. However, if the employer tries to stiff an employee, it is far worse. Employees need their money for the necessaries of life.

If you quit and gave at least 72 hours' notice, your employer was required by law to give you your final paycheck on your last day. If you quit and did not give 72 hourrs' notice, you needed to receive your check within 72 hours after your last day. If you were fired or laid off, you needed to receive your final paycheck upon termination. If not, your former employer owes you the wages owed PLUS one day's pay for every day you had or have to wait to be paid - up to 30 days PLUS attorneys' fees.

Any claim for unpaid hours must be brought either in small claims court or before the California Labor Commissioner.
