I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Texas, employees must be paid in accordance with their employment agreement. Here are a few steps you can take:
- Review your employment contract for payment terms.
- Contact your employer's HR or payroll department.
- Consider filing a wage claim with the Texas Workforce Commission.
Has your employer given any reason for the delay?
just lies about the delay, would seeing the contract help
Yes, reviewing your employment contract can provide clarity on the payment terms and help you determine if your employer is violating those terms. It may also help when discussing the issue with HR or if you decide to file a wage claim. Is there anything specific you're looking for in the contract?
