I didn't take any legal action, I was patient and understanding. I also saw how that one employees actions to take the company to court negatively affected the rest of us and I didn't want to do the same. I've also built a good relationship with those owners and I'm still friends with them to this day. They certainly weren't the bad guys, just bad at growing a successful business.

My guess is that the employer had to hire a lawyer to go defend itself in court, which means they probably had the ability to pay their staff at the time. As others have mentioned you can’t squeeze blood from a stone so if they managed to pay the employee who complained in addition to their legal bills and combine that with the fact that they only had 3 employees on payroll it leads me to believe that there was probably a little more money to go around than they were leading people to believe. Now obviously there’s probably a lot more details to the situation but I’m seeing a lot of red flags in their story.
