<prompt> Human: Im not sure if this belongs here. If not, please point me in the right direction. But basically, my boss isnt paying me because hes in debt. I work for a close friend who owns a construction company and Im his only employee. We stay very busy so the money is there, but like I said, my bossfriend is in debt. Last year around this time I was making 800 a week. Now Im lucky to get paid twice a month. Im 22 and am currently trying to move out, but Im nowhere near able to afford it. I have no idea how much he owes me but Im sure its a lot. Its all under the table too so he has no legal obligation. What should I do? Wait it out until he can pay me? Quit and find a new job and just leave him hanging? Im desperate for direction right now because I work very hard and Im not getting compensated. I need out of my house too but dont have time for a second job. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.  <response>: Quit and find a new job and just leave him hanging?This gets my vote. Get a job where you arent working under the table. If youre working under the table you cant really file a labor dispute for your lost wages.
