La Marsh v. Bingham

**La Marsh v. Bingham Employment Dispute** Delaware La Marsh filed a lawsuit against Ada E. Bingham and others over unpaid wages. La Marsh claimed that Bingham owed additional compensation that had not been paid. The court ruled against La Marsh and sided with the employer. The judge denied La Marsh's request to review the case and supported a commission's earlier decision. The court found that La Marsh's claim for extra pay was filed too late under Florida law. Specifically, Florida Statute Section 440.28 requires workers to request changes to their compensation within two years, and La Marsh had missed this deadline. This case serves as an important reminder for workers about timing when pursuing wage claims. Even if you believe your employer owes you money, there are strict deadlines for filing complaints or requesting compensation adjustments. Missing these deadlines can result in losing your right to recover unpaid wages, regardless of whether your claim has merit. Workers should act quickly when they suspect wage theft and seek help understanding the specific time limits that apply to their situation. Waiting too long can permanently bar your ability to collect money you're owed.
