I had a restaurant i was working with for about 6 months let me go because a new kitchen manager that was clearly on drugs and said I lost a charger for the tablet for orders when I wasn't even there... So I was owed $960ish dollars, I was NOT paid this and then the business closed down right after so I didn't know what to do. What should or could I have done in that situation?
