Property Boss I am a property appraiser in Florida, my boss owes me five months of salary arrears. How do I get my money? He refuses to pay me and I quit about a few weeks ago. In my experience such people only respond to force. ie get a lawyer obtain an attourney and gather evidence that he owes you money. take him to court. Contact the Commissioner of Labor and file a complaint. If you are an employee (taxes taken from your salary) Go to the Social Security office near you and file a claim. Partly it depends on how you have been paid. Have you been paid a salary, received a commission or a person under contract. Talk to a lawyer if you are owed money from what you have worked for him, you need to press for him. I hope you all have your papers in order, otherwise it may have "lost" his Get a lawyer. Depending on the actual amount he owes you, you may be able to take him to small claims court. Quite simply, you will not need to hire a lawyer for that. I do not know the limits but I think its anything above $ 5,000.00, which will go before the district courts. If you can back up your story with evidence that you should have no problem earning money. Just gather all the information about the job you have done for this person over the last five months and be prepared to present your case. I would send him a letter threatening to take him to court to give him so many days to respond to money and if not then take it to court, he will know that you are seriously once he has received court documents. While your at it, you should file a complaint with the Commission's work so that you can warn other potential employees that might not be worthy of paying for services. Hiring a lawyer. take this to the A. General. they love this kind of thing. Posted on August 17, 2010.
