Some of you know I was shorted my time and a half from my last job. I called NYS Dept. of labor and they sent me the forum to fill out.
Only problem is, The paper work says I have to ask for my unpaid wages before they can help.
I was going to write a letter and send it certified mail, give them 10 days then fill out the paper work if I dont hear anything.
I’m not really sure how to write the letter.
Dear xxx
Its recently come to my attention that I was paid time, not time and a half. So I am owed 1/2 time. From the pay check stubs I have I believe I am owed $ xxx.xx.
Prior to my dismissal, there was a mistake made in my pay. As per the attached photocopied paystubs from the period(s) in question, I was paid insert explanation here. I should have been paid insert explanation here.
I trust that you will by the end of this week so that we can avoid action by the department of labor. Thank you in advance.
