    I worked for a company they hired me I only had a copy of my ID and they told me that's fine as long as I get my Id within 2 weeks of being hired I started to work an they reffuse to give me my check,I talked to the person in charge of the payroll and she told me the same thing that I need my id I explained to her they hired me without it an I can't get it without having money to get a new one, she then got nasty an told me I should have borrowed money to get it... I said if I knew someone that I could borrow money from I would but I don't that's why I need my check

    What ID? If you don't have anything showing a social security number or tax ID, then can't pay you.

    Hello J:

    Scott is right. They can't hire you without verifying your legal status, and you would have had to provide an ID then... But, if they DID hire without those documents, then they have to PAY you.

    SUE the bastards in small claims court.
