Supervisor under agency stole our money. (Independent contractors/VA's)
Can anyone advise us especially lawyers on what to do with this person? We are an independent contractors (VA's) who got terminated unjustly due to us asking for our pay that we did not receive for almost 2 months. Half of us who got terminated abruptly received 50% of the pay; however, majority of us receive nothing. The supervisor insisted to the client that he/she will be the one who should handle the payroll and so it means he/she really did withhold our supposed salaries from the client.
We are under a client and we are involved under a certain agency. The person involved were under a supervisor/managerial role. This person did not only terminated us abruptly but stole our money from the client and VA's. Technically, we did not receive our salaries that is worth of 2 months free labor. And this person just recently visited Japan and so we have this gut feeling that he/she used our money for her personal interests.
Currently, someone posted all the issues in social media and now the person of interest threatens that she will file a cyberbullying case against her. All we wanted is for us to receive our pay as we did not agree to free labor. Can anyone advise us how to report and file a case against this person?
