You can easily rack that up in a week, week and a half. My usual consulting gigs i will go on a two week payment.

It’s in several places in the Bible to pay the worker for his work. It’s a serious matter.

What is your problem. He was an unwanted and unneeded H1B worker that then got a green card instead of going home. Took an American’s job. Kick him out. Let him sue his H1B scammers from India. It was them, not an American employer that ripped him off.

The deal isn't closed until the 'check clears the bank'.

I know, I know, nobody uses checks and bank clearing is old school, but the principle remains the same.

Until you get your bits from bitcom, the game ain't over.

I know. Just pointing out that it is more serious than other forms of not being just to the worker.

It has happened to me three times. Two of them were individuals, and I don’t work for individuals anymore. It must be a corporation with a reputation to worry about. One of them was a small business just closing up and the owner thought he could get away with not giving me my last paycheck, but I got it—I shamed him into it. Also I was starting work elsewhere in the same type of small business and word gets around, so he gave in.
