My employer is asking my salary back for which I worked for

[thecreators]

My employer had paid me the salary for last two weeks for what I have worked and asking me to pay back as he was not paid by his vendor( my employer -> consultant -> direct vendor -> client ). He has reported in collection agent and currently it shows in my credit history as negative impact.

 

Thanks

It is irrelevant if the vendor didn't pay.

Your salary is "free and clear", without any restrictions.

It is the employer's risk if his business contact doesn't pay him. That's why he is an employer.

File a complaint with DOL on form WH4.

And find a better employer, one who isn't a fly-by-night operation.

Talk to an attorney asap as you owe your employer nothing.

File a complaint against him.

File a complaint with DOL...and also hire yourself a good attorney to sue him as he screwed up your Credit history.

I agree.

Getting payment from the client is his problem. He has to pay you no matter whether he is ever paid.

 

Find a decent employer and report to DOL.

Also you can contest the filing on your credit report.
