I spent a summer working for an employer and had to quit after nearly three months without a paycheck. Filed a lost wages claim with the department of labor and industry and won a significant amount of back pay, however, the aforementioned ex employer simply refuses to pay or even acknowledge the money I'm owed and said ruling in my favor.
