Unpaid Wages And Violations
Summary
In Washington, employers must pay all owed wages on the next regular payday after termination, regardless of unreturned company property. If you havent received your payment, consider filing a wage complaint with the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. Employers can require a timesheet for accurate payment, but withholding pay due to lack of timesheet submission, especially if access is restricted, may be contested. Document all communications and attempts to submit your timesheet.Full Conversation
