also keep as much of a paper trail as possible, save emails, and correspondence about pay, document yourself turning in time sheets, document correspondence with coworkers about them not getting paid either. there’s a limit to how long they can go without paying you for labor your provided (look it up, might vary by state), you want to have plenty of evidence that you followed all the proper steps and were not paid in a legally allowable time frame, and most labor lawyers will take that case

on a “pay for my services if you win” basis because it’s a pretty clear cut case of wage theft at that point. you should also lodge a complaint with your local labor board before taking legal action, even if they don’t do anything it’s more evidence that you exhausted every reasonable measure and they just didn’t pay you

yup. getting sued for labor violations is very serious. i’ve lived in ma for a while and we have really strong labor laws so if you don’t get paid 6 days after the end of the pay period you can file a complaint, after which point payment for your wages isn’t considered a defense in court and if they’re found to have violated labor law but now paying you in time they owe you triple your lost wages plus attorneys fees
