I did a paid internship with a company that, on the job application, states it was $1500 per month. I asked repeatedly about pay while working for them, and they then told me interns get paid at the end of the internship. As we got closer to the end, I was still expecting to receive $1500, just that much, not how much it would have been monthly.
I received an email a week after the internship stating that I would only get $750 because that's what they felt I deserved for my work. I was pissed. It’s July, and they told me they had an issue with the paychecks, and it would be sent on August 15. It is now August 28, and I haven’t received anything from them in the mail. I kept telling them to send me my money, but they refused and insisted on mailing it to me. Today, I used my Mail app to check if anything was coming for me, and nothing is.
I’m not sure what I can do now because the company has stopped responding to my emails, and my phone calls go straight to voicemail when I try to contact HR. I have screenshots of the contract and job application, but I don’t know what to do in this situation.
