I need a lawyer

In that order? Asking for a friend....

 

"Street justice" usually means "3 months later I took a really long shower and fantasized about what I would have done"

 

Ain't nobody got time for that..

 

Just out of curiosity, is ol' JB still using that crappy yard in McCook, or did they build an ACTUAL terminal? Because that place was bad news even 35 years ago. Drivers would avoid it if at all possible (they also did not have fuel..). I got stuck there a couple times on weekends (then spent all day Monday doing Chicago local jobs..), but luckily I knew people in Chicago and always left the terminal for the weekend.

Your name on here isn't your real name, is it?

 

And THAT'S the problem!

 

send me a private message. for free ill give you actual laws relevant and strategy. i can also show sources of my things i'm telling you.

also i'm very interested in this discussion. i hope we can speak about it.

 

Since I was involved in a case like this I'll explain it in small words to everyone gets it.You must have written documentation another word real proof.
He said she said will not work. And no my lawyer won't take the case as it's in another state.

 

When it comes to payroll everything is written by law.

Also when first hired there is a law that the employer must provide a pay agreement form outlining fine detail all the specifics about the pay. When employee asks for this form, employer must provide it, this is another law. Anything on that form is concealed or lack of the form all together, these are violations.

then the pay stubs themselves must be accurately presented. For example I had 1 employer who put "miles paid" in the "safety bonus" section on the paystub and the whole paycheck was like this, with innaccurate discriptions this is yet again another violations. It must be accurately reported to the govt or else the company can do securities fraud or even money laundering, cooking the books is 1 way to create dirty money and laundered money. It can also be used to send false claims to the government and misrepresent income and costs of the company. etc.


Even if you can't really prove the pay misrepresentations. Still something as simple as a lack of pay agreement form can put the liability on the employer and then you can still win the lawsuit. You only need preponderance 51 percent more likely it happened than not in civil cases. This is a civil case, not a criminal case.



The hardest parts of a lawsuit is using the goverment agencies(some cases have a mandatory requirement to use these agencies or else the lawsuit is shut down), these agencies many times feel very underpowered or lack luster at what they do, how long cases take to complete can be years, and the fees and procedural aspects of the cases are the hardest part. Any small thing done like a motion requested is a fee. These really add up and they are not cheap. So rich companies have automatic advantage, if employee loses it's devastating, but employer could not really care much about going to court. For the employee it's like your life is on the line if go to court on something like this, for the employer they could barely care you feel like an ant standing next to elephant when it comes to finances.


i dont understand the part you said "it's in another state, and your lawyer wont accept the case". the lawsuit is at the employees door step, not at the employers doorstep. there is a law about this on the procedural part, the venue jurisdiction stuff. So if my employer is in New Jersey, and he hired me as a driver but I live in California, any lawsuit vs that employer would be in California at the employee's doorstep.
