Q.Can I file a wage complaint against a former employer? How far back can I go?
A.Yes. An employee can file a wage complaint against a former employer. The employee can recover for any unpaid wages or overtime due for work performed in the last three years. If the employee's unpaid work goes back more than three years, the employee cannot collect on that part of the claim.
