What is the name of your state? West Virginia
On July 12, 2004 I was terminated from my position with a Mid-Sized Wireless Provider, upon my termination I received my regular wages and fringe benefits within the legally alotted 72-Hours. However, I did not receive my June Commission Check until 2 Weeks later and my July Commission Check until 42 Days Later. I contact my previous employer on the 40th day and told them that I was contacting the DOL, I promptly received my check 2 days later. I contacted the DOL and they said that they were unable to take my case because the Company did eventually pay me my earned commission, however they did send me a copy of the state laws, stating the actions that can be taken if an employer fails to abide. By law I am entitled to a days salary for each day my employer held my wages, this totaled $3,100. I wrote a letter to my employer stating my complaint and giving them 30 days to resolve before I went to file in court (Sent Certified Mail). I did not receive any response from them and now the 30 days has expired; expired on Sept. 26, 2004. Now I must file a claim in Magistrate Court (Small Claims), however I am afraid that this company will bring in their Big Attorney's to bury me in Court. I do not know whether to hire an atty or just go it alone, any advice on the situation as a whole would be much appreciated. Thanks
