    Pro-rated paycheck
    I only received 9% of my paycheck, I worked from Feb-May and was being paid stipend agreed upon before the season. I started working at the scheduled time, but at the end of the season they pro-rated my check because my fingerprints didn't clear for weeks. I was told since they didn't clear they wouldn't pay me for the work I'd already done. Its not the first time the district has done this to someone. How do I get my money?

    Take it up with your state labor board. They can't withhold pay for work you did, because it took them time to verify your fingerprints.

    Hello live:

    The state labor board can help, but they don't have teeth. I would go directly to small claims court. A judgment has teeth.

    You may need to file a claim in small-claims court. If they didn't want to pay you before your fingerprints cleared then they shouldn't have had you working until they cleared. COntact the clerk of the small claims court for your county of residence. They'll help you proceed. Hopefully you have documentation of the hours you worked and weren't paid for.
