    This doesn't sound on 'the up and up'; do you work through an Agency, or belong to a Union?

    Hi Racy,

    Why are your wages being held? I can't imagine it's legal and I recommend that you seek legal counsel. Not only are you entitled to your pay but probably damages as well, at this point. Is this home privately owned? If so, I wonder if the owner is in financial trouble. Good luck, I think you will need it.

    I would talk to some of the other staff working there and seek the advice of a lawyer. It does not look good and waiting can make things worse!
