Asked on Mar 16th, 2016 on Workers Compensation - Kentucky
More details to this question:
I live in Kentucky and worked for a company out of MO. i am an owner operator, i pay for all my own, and they owe me little less then $2,000 out of my escrow. it has been past the 45 day holding and every time i talk to them about it they come up with reasons not to give it to me, and they are all bogus accounts like holding taxes on me when i pay all my own. but mainly i want to know if i can file here in KY or do I have to go to MO to do so?

From what you describe, you would likely have to file suit in Missouri, especially if the company does not have any Kentucky based facilities.
You may be able to file an administrative complaint with the Missouri Department of Labor -- Missouri Wage Complaint Process.
You may also wish to consult with a lawyer in Missouri -- Possible Lawyer Contact. There are many lawyer listed on line and if this firm cannot help, perhaps they could make a refferral.
