Is there way to recover lost wages?... I worked for a guy that had a restaurant in Georgia,he didn't do anything for us as far as paperwork, but he didn't pay anyone either. He had already done this in another county, and then went to another state and did at least a third time...he still owes me $1800 personally. Neither the county or the department of labor stepped in.

I was in the same situation for the past 6ish months. I'm from Australia and I used the FEG (Fair Entitlements Guarantee) to lodge my claim. I'm not sure if there is a similar system in America so I can't offer you legal recommendations however, the process is sure to be lengthy and there is honestly no guarantee of getting the money even if you worked fairly for it (in my experience). It's not what you want to hear I'm sure, but it's all I've got to offer you. Good Luck
