Working full time without benefits

Are you a direct employee or an independent contractor?

Anyway, regardless of the answer to that, contact your local Bar Association and ask about reputable employment attorneys. You can probably find one or two who will give an initial consultation for free and would be able to tell you whether you have a case. Then, take everything (and I mean everything) to the initial consultation. And that's copies, leave the originals at home in a safe place, just in case.

Also, make sure you have everything together - a written history, chronologically ordered, of what happened, and also seriously consider writing down all of your questions, not only about whether you have a claim, but also about things like fees, how often you can expect contact from the attorney, etc.

This is, if it's a viable case, which is not easy to tell from the information give, not your run of the mill slip and fall, so the costs might not be set in stone and may be negotiable.

Yes I am a direct employee. I work for a electronics store retailer with about 600 stores. I am a "sales associate".

And I work in NH and live in MA

Contact the Mass. Bar, http://www.massbar.org/

Ask for a referral to someone who works in your area and who is admitted in both NH and MA.

And good luck to you. It seems very wrong, but the attorney should do the research, make sure that the whole thing isn't just a wild goose chase and that it really is a viable case.

You might want to see if there is some state agency that can help you first. For only $3200, a lawyer will get all of it, or just not take your case because it's not worth enough money. There is always small claims court as well, but either way, you probably wouldn't want to continue to work there if you sue the company. Go to the HR person, sit in their office until it gets done.

Yeah I will look further into what I can do. One "problem" is when I was hired I signed an arbitration agreement when I was hired.
