Have you been shorted by the new STAR payroll system? If yes, you can file a missing wages claim with the Department of Workforce Development.

“If the employer refuses to pay wages earned on the regularly established payday, the employee should request payment. If the employee does not receive payment after 6 days, the employee may file a claim with the department [Dept. of Workforce Dev.] Once a claim is filed, the department will seek to resolve the matter with the employer.”
