Denied

"Justice delayed is justice denied. In most cases, the labor law will not protect you. When it does, it does not protect you fast enough.

The fact is that while you are out on thes street with no income, the employer is making a living and can well afford to fight you in court. He can afford the delay: in fact he benefits from any delay that the process involves because the chances are that you'll become discouraged and drop the suit.

In some cases, you might think of suing your boss to recover something that is not actually spelled out in the applicable labor law. If, for example, you are working under the provisions of a contract and your employer does not live up to it, denying you an increase in pay for some pretext or other, you might take this to civil court.

You'll be facing the same problems as you would under the labor law, but worse. You cannot institute a civil suit and protect your identity. Your boss can fire you as soon as he ise served the papers and that you leaves you out in the cold. Of course, the ideal way to handle this is to get another job and then sue him. Your income will be relatively safe and you will be able to afford to wait while the civil suit drags its way through the courts.

One disadvantage of suing your employer, even after you find another job, is that the grapevine operates among employers, too. You can be given a reputation as a 'trouble-maker,,' which will not help you in your new job. In fact, it can make it hard or even impossible to find another job in some cases."

This is what Victor said.
