It is most definitely, absolutely illegal to fail to pay your employees. I’m also strongly suspected some other illegalities here including but probably not limited to tax withholding violations and other shenanigans that will undoubtedly interest the IRS, failure to secure worker’s compensation coverage for the…

In Washington State it’s called “quit with cause”.

I think they are suggesting eggplant can caus miscarriages.

So basically like having your neighborhood busybody walk up to you to offer the same old wives’ tales that make zero sense, outdated advice from when they were pregnant fifty years ago and the latest Facebook ‘medical news’ without your asking for their opinion or their knowing anything about you including your…

Incredulous question that is also serious:

There are some Civil War stories and there are some interracial stories set during that time period, but they’re often very, um, fetish-y.

“Just have your parents spot you until we can pay you guys.” was probably the next thing out of this dbag’s mouth.

So they built an Expert System based AI, but forgot to actually include the Expert (probably because actual experts require payment for their services...but doctor google doesn’t).

“Is McFarland aware that employees who resign cannot collect unemployment, but employees who’ve been laid off can? (A: He was not aware of that.)“

You can’t have people work for free. If you’re not paying them, you’ve basically laid them off. So they can get unemployment. You can’t hand-wave the issue away by not actually saying “you’re laid off because we’re broke.”

“We, uh, we fixed the *glitch*. So (you) won’t be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it’ll just work itself out naturally.”

1.) I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Ja Rule’s bank account hit its peak sometime around the I’m Real/Always on Time era and has been on the decline every since.

Not paying them is not. Delaying paying is usually not considered illegal, provided they come through in a timely fashion. But if they delay without good reason, there could be some problems.

At least in CA, the (ex-)employees file a complaint with the Labor Department, and when Fyre goes Bankrupt, they have a priority claim for any available assets.

If they can’t afford the payroll, chances are they didn’t submit the payroll taxes. Good luck with that.

He is basically saying that they aren’t paying anyone for work done there, so if you stay you are essentially a volunteer.

Everyone who worked there should immediately stop working and file for unemployment. They’ll never get their wages because this company is headed for bankruptcy for sure, but unemployment will be something. But don’t do any work until your wages are caught up.

It varies by state. In CA, you must be paid all wages due within a couple of days of being terminated (fired or laid off). If you quit, they get like 30 days or something.

Timeliness of pay is usually covered by state law and only a couple have monthly payments required (most are less), but the BS is in the answer:

Misogynist, racist, orange shit-person running for President attracts misogynist, racist, red shit-person as a supporter? Color me amazed. Oh, and he’s also accusing the media of framing him? How original.
