Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Collecting Salery

I am an independant contractor with a contract from a Massachusettes based restaurant company. The contract was written by the owner and president of the company and myself and signed by both individuals. I wrote, costed, and specified all menu items and implimented the perchasing contracts. Trained personal, laid out the kitchen, and implimented the service policies bring the restaurant to fruition. I was to be paid monthly which turned into quarterly which turned into waiting for more investment money while nine months has passed. Since I have been living off savings and things are tight what is the best avenue to pursue my salery owed?

Re: Collecting Salery

Sounds like a breach of contract to me. Sue him in the proper court which has jurisdiction and venue. You need to review your contract to determine whether there is a choice of laws or venue provision within it, and determine the amount of money owed in order to file in the proper court.
