Re: unknown recourse

Whether you are considered an employee or an outside contractor, you may still be entitled to be paid for your work. You should take two avenues to cover all bases: (1) File a complaint with the Department of Labor; (2) thereafter, file a lawsuit in small claims court. It goes without saying, you can't sit on your rights, so research the statute of limitation issues for pursuing your claim or consult an attorney.
