My Employer terminated my services last week. For the last six weeks he was not paying me. Earlier he was paying me bench salary. What is my recourse?

You have a right to be paid for your services. I recommend that you discuss the matter with your employer and insist on being paid. Failing which, I suggest you contact a good lawyer in your neighborhood to negotiate on your behalf. Under the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act [ACWIA], Employers are not allowed to “bench” employees and penalize them by non-payment of salary due to them. The Department of Labor’s Hour and Wage department could also assist you in your endeavor to obtain back wages.
