Please help, my daughter with Aspergers is being screwed by Dollar General in Jaffrey NH [View all]

Hi All,
My daughter got her first job ! YAY! EXCEPT it was with Dollar General in Jaffrey NH.

Long story short, payday is Friday but she hasn't been paid on Friday. Up until the last two weeks (she has worked for them about 5 weeks) SHE gets her direct deposit on Tuesday. BUT the last two weeks she hasn't been paid at all. She is the only person with this problem. She is the only person with Aspergers working for Dollar General in Jaffrey NH.

What I need help with is this.

I know we need to file a wage complaint with the New Hampshire Labor Board

But who else can we file complaints with, I think there is discrimination here, she has definitely been treated differently.

I want a microscope put on this company and I want them to squirm under it.

My daughter worked very hard for them. She has given her notice, I made her quit. Next week is her last week but under the circumstances, I don't feel she should work a day until she is paid for the last two weeks.

I am furious and want to make them pay! Should I get a labor lawyer? Dollar General is notorious for being a terrible employer but someone needs to hold them accountable and if we can do our part to force them to stop playing around with their employees the so be it.

I hope to get a lot of help from you folks. I really think they felt they could do what they wanted to the kid with Aspergers. Well, not my kid!
