I worked on a research project at a university and my salary was paid by a research company to the university. I recently found out that my supervisor at the university has only paid a portion of my salary to me. In fact, he has kept a significant portion of my salary without my knowledge. I reached out to the` chair of the department and he agreed to pay the rest of money to me. However, I want university to punish this employee for his misconduct too. However, it seems that the university HR is covering his ass although I have provided undeniable evidence to them. I have two questions:
1) Is this a crime when your employer steals a portion of your salary?
2) What is a good way of following up on this issue? Can I file a law suit in court against my supervisor/university?
I should emphasize that the university has agreed to pay the robbed money back to me but I want both my money and an appropriate punishment for this employee.
Thank you
