Thanks do you think an attorney is a good route to take ?
If so do you think that his pay will be taken from whats owed to me or can it be billed to contractor
correctGraduating from an apprentice program is not a requirement
in a non union shop
job ending has nothing to do with money owed, there are probable statues of limitations (5 or 10 years)I think your real problem is the fact that the job has been over for some time. The contractor has collected his money and as far as the Government is concerned it's a done deal.
If you had contacted the DOL while the job was on-going it would have been a simple matter for them to send someone out to check on the situation. The contractor would have been in violation of his contract and would have had no choice but to pay if he ever wanted to collect his money.
fastest way to expedite a claim; go to the job site and file a complaint with the federal engineer in charge of job site, the feds will audit his books, but realize the contractor is going to be very upset because he could be banned from bidding federal work for quite awhileI contacted a employee of his and he told me their still working at the federal building .
the contractor just finished phase one of a three phase project when I left . The dol lady said their trying to see what was in the contract or is in the contract .
its been around six mounths with no communication on her part . I. Don't understand about the contract part of it
i have a question...
Did he pay you what you agreed upon as a wage between the two of you?
yes or no?
Thanks I appreciate your time and knowledge,Here ya go!
Claim you were discriminated against (terminated, reduced hours, increased overwork) when you asked about the pw.
Then the law allows back pay plus an equal amount in liquidated damages plus attorney fee (let the attorney make the discrimination claim).
34:11-56.8. Actions by or on behalf of employees; damages
If any employee, because of his or her employer's violation of the provisions of section two of this act, is discriminated against in the payment of wages, such employee may recover in a civil action the full amount of the salary or wages due from the employer plus an additional equal amount as liquidated damages, together with costs and such reasonable attorney's fees as may be allowed by the court, and any agreement between such employee and employer to work for less than such salary or wages shall be no defense to the action. At the request of any employee paid less than the wage to which she may be entitled under this act, the commissioner may take an assignment of such wage claim in trust for the assigning employee and may bring any legal action necessary to collect such claim, including the liquidated damages provided by this section without cost to the employee. The court in such action shall, in addition to any judgment awarded to the plaintiff or plaintiffs, allow a reasonable attorney's fee to be paid by the defendant, and costs of the action. The commissioner shall not be required to pay the filing fee, or other costs, in connection with such action. The commissioner shall have power to join various claimants against the employer in one cause of action
correct

...on a federal job that is prevailing wage, any private payment agreement is moot, the contractor knows he has to pay JW wages if an apprentice is not in an approved program.
I never went to a apprentice program so I should've been paid jmans wage like it says on the dol website.so why is the dol looking into what was in the contract of the job.
is their a way the ec could've put a diff wage in a contract?
i thought pw was a set wage so how does the contract come into play ?

As provided for in NJ statute 34:11-4.9., ....[/FONT][/COLOR]
Super advice, if it weren't for the fact that this is a FEDERAL job we're talking about. He'll have to go to the US Dept of Labor for relief.
