Employer hasn’t paid for 4 months
Hey guys! I work for a company based in Toronto, fully remote, based out of the country.
I have been working with them for almost 3 years, most recently they have stopped making payments, they claim to have issues with money but they continue to purchase and merge with other companies.
At this point I am still working with them as I am afraid if I leave now, I will never see that money. I try to push HR every day and I end up getting paid 2 weeks worth of payment in every few months.
I have proof that I work with them
I have invoices that have been paid so far and billed to them
I have messages from HR proving that they owe me money and that they are trying etc.
Can I do anything legally in Canada? I just need the payment for the work I have put in and I will leave the job, but until then, it’s best I continue so I can pursue this internally.
Any help, guidance or recommendation of a lawyer would be greatly appreciated.
