IANAL, but I know enough about wage laws; a lot of OG's in this forum can attest about my 2014. What state do you live in?

Well in a nutshell - the client sacked all staffing agencies and told us to sign up with ONE or leave - My previous employer now refuses to pay me after 60 days contractually, he's now non responsive, held my 2 months pay and accusing me of violating non-compete clause in the agreement - worked for this client for 12 yrs through various companies (4 yrs through one + 8 yrs via the other), and for this a**hole 14 months - He's saying there's loss incurred to his business ??? Client pay X amount for my services, He keeps Y and gives me X-Y .. how's he incurred a loss ... anyway thats where this whole mess is at - employer is a TX company & I reside in IL but in the contract he has a clause to use all TX laws

I used to work in medical research, and at the last conference I attended I was interested to hear that many of the researchers were really keen on a new development. They had switched from using rats in the studies, and are now using lawyers, MUCH MUCH better to hear them describe it. Turns out the lab techs don’t get as attached to them during the studies, but the main reason for the switch is that there are some things you just can’t get a rat to do.....

Couldn’t resist the opportunity (this is probably the only good lawyer joke I didn’t pick up during my year in prelaw). But seriously, no offense to our fellow litigators. Tort law is really our only defense against the corporations so they serve a very valuable purpose. Kind of like modern-day exterminators I guess. I hope the OP can gouge them on defamation or unfair business practices, rather than just getting what he was promised - if you have to make somebody pay up, it should hurt.

Sorry for the late reply; things just got REALLY busy (good friend got into an accident (but I got a free AGM battery out of it), fighting a hooning *ahem* speeding ticket (more like the cop didn't show up to court), incompetent outsourced support that created double work, phone system outage and having to replace equipment after hours [I'm an IT admin] etc.).

One thing for sure is that you have a case... His "incurring a loss" is not your concern; I've lost a frickin' house and a 6-figure savings account when I got screwed over by a business partner, so a couple months of pay is trivial in a P&L (Profit & Loss) statement, and STILL paid my contractors. Even if it was your fault and you caused more damage than your paycheck (I have no idea where you work, but even if you were this guy, you're still owed your pay and legally it's considered your workplace's loss... They can sue you, but they can't take it out of your pay.

Most states do swing the hammer down fairly swiftly on owed wages; you can put liens on his personal property and the whole 9 yards (at least here in California) if you file a wage claim... It's an obscure lawsuit letter that is mailed to him by 1st class mail only, not served or certified as far as I know (IDK, I've never been on the other side of these proceedings ).

If I'm understanding what you said about "12 years through various companies" correctly, you can submit proof that you've worked for him in one capacity or another and strike the non-compete clause, and if he was your sole employer during the effective dates (usually a year or two, which you said 14 months), then his argument is null and void.
