Employer refuses to give employee paycheck

Question: I worked at a Pizza ranch for 3weeks, after work was terminated I went to get my 1st check, because they pay every 2weeks. They refused to give me my pay check due to insufficient paper work. According to Iowa law though, they are required to pay me at next payment period after work is terminated. Can I sue them for this?

Answer: Your solution is pretty simple. Iowa law provides the employer must pay you as scheduled. It's in Chapter 91A. Under Iowa Code Chapter 91A if they don't pay you the employer can be sued. Under Chapter 91A the employer can owe the pay check, interest, court costs, liquidated damages and attorney fees. Pay on schedule or it is presumed the employee has been damaged.

Can I file a lawsuit regarding racial discrimination? Two days ago an assistant manager at my workplace made a comment about my race saying to me hey Hispanic guy no I mean hey you (profane word) Mexican! I guess he was trying to joke with me when I have never made any type of racial remark to him periodically. Is it possible to file for a lawsuit about this if I haven't told management yet or recorded the time it took place or exact words there was a coworker that witnessed the altercation.

Can my 6 year old get compensation for a hotel injury? We stayed at a hotel. My son got shocked and burned on his fingertip from a table lamp on/off switch. The hotel said the fuse box had a burn out. So that might have caused it. The insurance company offered $500. Should I take it? Or can I get more?
