AVLF provides FREE legal representation to fight employers who don’t pay you for work you performed.
The most common cases we handle involve employers who:
- Refuse to give an employer their last check
- Refuse to pay anything for work performed
- Skipped paychecks
- Failed to pay minimum wage or overtime
Not all employment cases are appropriate for our program. We do not assist with cases involving:
- Only vacation, sick, or holiday pay
- Bonuses or commissions
- Employment discrimination
- Workers’ compensation
- Unemployment insurance
- Pensions
- Claims of wrongful termination
