    Filed a wage theft report against my former employer, was told he only paid 80% of what was owned, but I sucked it up. When I picked up the check at the Department of Labor, it had "THIEF" boldly written on the subject line. Super awkward, unfair, and embarrassing, especially with others witnessing it. Is there anything that can be done?

    dante50 4 min. ago Exactly. It's not slander or libel if it's the truth. There's no risk in saying "X Company lost its wage theft case owing me $x.00." It's an adjudicated fact that OP should tell everyone.

    Now put him and his business on blast and sick the IRS on him. 0% chance he's reporting the money he was stealing. Best case scenario, he owes them a and the IRS pays you a bounty.

    Lord_Grakas 22 min. ago How's anyone supposed to get ahead nowadays when you can't even steal wages from your employees anymore? Shouldn't they be grateful that I'm keeping their family off the street. The least he could do is let me his wife... I'm sorry what was I talking about again?

    Strange-Area9624 11 min. ago That would be a pretty clear cut case is defamation. You aren't a thief which has a clear definition that is derogatory. He claimed that you are on a document filed with the state. I would retain the services of a lawyer.

    PaulGoddard 987654321 3 min. ago report that company everywhere, go after the last 20 percent. I'll bet he's not paying tax etc if he does that to employees. Plus, look at this a lucky escape.
