RE: Demand for Payment of Unpaid Wages

Dear _____________________, (Employer name)

I am writing to formally demand payment of the unpaid wages owed to me for work performed
while employed at _____________________ (Company name). Despite my efforts to resolve this
matter informally, I have not received the compensation I am legally entitled to.

The unpaid wages are as follows: __________________________________________ (Describe


the unpaid wages, including the dates worked, hours worked, and the amount owed. If applicable,
mention any overtime hours, minimum wage violations, or expense reimbursements).

In total, I am owed ________________ (Amount owed) in unpaid wages.

As a result of not receiving my earned wages on time, I have incurred additional expenses, which
include: __________________________________________ (If relevant, list any additional
expenses incurred due to the unpaid wages, such as late fees or penalties).

I request that you pay the total amount of ________________ (Total amount owed), which
includes my unpaid wages and the additional expenses I have incurred, by ________________
(Reasonable deadline for payment). Please send a check for the full amount to the address listed
above or deposit the funds directly into my bank account, as previously arranged.

If I do not receive payment by the stated deadline, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action
to recover my unpaid wages and any associated damages. I reserve the right to file a complaint
with ________________ (Enter the relevant government agency) and/or seek relief through the
court system.
I trust that you will address this matter promptly and fairly to avoid further legal action.

Sincerely,

_________________________
