4 steps to take to protect your wage claim
You should:
(1) write a chronology of your employment history with the employer;
(2) make copies of all relevant documents, including employment contracts,
documents supporting your claim of unpaid commissions and compensation;
(3) make a list of potential witnesses (good and bad), include job title,address and phone numbers, with a short summary of what you expect
each witness will say,
(4) then contact a good lawyer with experience in employment law.
You may also want to contact the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor to file a complaint. However, filing a complain with the Department of Labor will not prevent your statute of limitations from running, so you should still explore a possible civil case with your own attorney.
