Dispute guide

Employment (unpaid wages)

Federal and state wage laws require timely payment. A formal demand puts the employer on notice, preserves your record, and often resolves the issue before a labor-board filing.

Common situations

  • Final paycheck not delivered after separation
  • Unpaid overtime or off-the-clock work
  • Withheld commissions or bonuses
  • Improper deductions from wages

How a formal demand letter helps

A written demand documents your position and creates a paper trail. It puts the other party on formal notice with a stated deadline and specific resolution. In many disputes, that alone produces a settlement — and if the matter proceeds to court, it demonstrates you attempted to resolve the issue in good faith.
