Employer Discrimination And Wage Theft

Summary

Discrimination based on disability is prohibited under the ADA, applicable nationwide, including South Carolina. Consider filing a complaint with the EEOC for federal discrimination cases. Wage theft can be addressed by filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labors Wage and Hour Division. Drafting a demand letter yourself can be effective if it clearly states your claims and evidence. Consulting with a lawyer familiar with employment discrimination and wage theft laws in both states is advisable.

It’s more than that… here is a draft of a demand letter that I did… would you like to see it? I just do not have time or evergy to sit around for months to get money that was stolen… wage theft, and I want to move on. (Not that I won’t still file complaints)
