The FFCRA applies to employers who have fewer than 500 employees. Thus, an employer with 5-10 employees is covered. However, employers with less than 50 employees can be exempt from some provisions of the act depending on the reason for the leave.

Not sure I follow the question but if your having issues with unpaid wages, the number of employees should not matter. You will have a claim but under what law will depend on the companies revnues and coverage.

Maybe reach out to an attorney for some help as many can do so for little to no money down. You may also want to contact a local county wage theft agency if applicable to your area.

Lastly, you can also contact the Department of Labor but I suggest you get an unpaid wage attorney that does employment law.
