NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You have not given many facts upon which to respond. You may have a violations of labor laws in the State of Florida. An employment lawyer can review the facts and let you know.

Alternatively, you may have a claim in small claims court (summary procedure) for breach of an oral agreement. Generally, the agreement must be performed in less than one year but it can be argued that each day you worked was a separate agreement and thus it is an enforceable agreement.

I suggest you consult an attorney who can review the specifics of the matter and let you know your legal rights and obligations.

You can try small claims, possibly. You will have a stronger case if you have a written agreement. Find a job where they don't cheat and steal because the boss would probably be the last person to get in trouble for what they have you doing.
