Question

I was hired in August for $23 hr. and have it in writing. It is also on file at our office that I earn $23 hr. but somehow I'm only being paid $16 hr. Manager says he will get it straight with corporate but keeps giving me excuses. Can I go after the almost $8000 back pay?

Answer

Don't see why not, but, of course, there's always

the risk that it could cost you your job (particularly,

in an employment at will jurisdiction like the Commonwealth).
