I would like to file suit again my former employer who owes me in excess of $8,000 for time/hours worked. If I file suit and win, I want HIM to have to pay for any attorney fees that I have to incur. I understand that there are ways attorneys can request this, however, I am unaware of how. I also worked over 200 hours of overtime and I never asked for extra money, just the regular hours pay, which I can't seem to receive from him.

Please advise if anyone is aware of how I can request that he pay attorney fees/costs should I win my case?

Thank You

Yes, you may sue for it, if you do so within the time limit of the claim. You may also ( if in the US) report them to the department of labor of your state.

Thank you.. I will also contact Dept. of Labor which is something that I had not thought of.

You certainly helped me!

Best regards,

Brandy

Were you salaried or an hourly employee?

Thanks for the good mark but can you tell us salaried or hourly?

Hello Brandy:

You're going to have trouble with your suit... Certainly, 200 hours of overtime happened over a period... Apparently, you didn't say anything about the shortage then. Because, you didn't, you may not be able to raise it now.

If you did let him get away with it for a time, why?
