Unpaid Wages Legal Options

Summary

In Utah, employment agreements, even verbal ones, can be enforced under certain conditions. If you have evidence like texts or emails indicating promised payment, it might be considered an implied contract. You can file a wage claim with the Utah Labor Commission. If you win the claim, the solar company would be responsible for paying you the wages owed.
