\"Professionally<\/p>\n

Who IS Responsible For Your Unpaid Wages?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your company goes under or refuses to pay, is your manager liable for the wages you are owed?<\/p>\n

Interestingly enough, this is not a commonly tried case; however in 2010 the case of Miguel MARTINEZ, v. Corky N. COMBS was brought to California Supreme Court to decide this joint-employer which was disputed.<\/p>\n

The full case can be seen here
\nMiguel MARTINEZ et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants, v. Corky N. COMBS et al.,
\nNo. S121552.
\nDecided: May 20, 2010<\/a><\/p>\n

This case involves agricultural workers who worked for a strawberry farmer that went bankrupt. The courts found that the managers and subsequent business partners were still liable for the wages promised, since the agreement between the direct employer and the workers named all partners as owners in the enterprise.<\/p>\n

These kinds of cases are excessively detailed and include many statues and case laws, but that is what we are here for.  You don’t need to sort through all of this.<\/p>\n

Just because the original company you were employed by files for, and is granted bankruptcy, does not mean you are out of luck, IF you have a legitimate claim of wages owed. NEW LAWS in 2014 have also provided for liens against the company’s property to pay such wages. This is another avenue for compensation that we may be able to pursue for you.<\/p>\n

Do not wait to file your claim. California has a four year statute of limitations on most employment matters, so you need to call our offices and get your FREE CONSULTATION right away.<\/p>\n
