Q687: I am a senior veteran and have been taken advantage of. I worked for a company and they refused to pay my wages due me or reimbursement for products I bought for them with the agreement they would reimburse me. They have the money they just don't want to pay. They are scamming the employees. I need legal assistance please. Where can I get help?

A1: US Department of Labor and/or your State Department of Labor can assist you. VSOs do not advise on that type of issue. You can always contact a labor attorney (look in the yellow pages) they normally work on a percentage if they take the case. (GH) 3/15/21
