Employment Attorney rec for a Chicken Soup For the Soul Employee (not me)?

The long and short of it:

• The company hasn't paid the last 2 paychecks or their year-end bonus

• They stopped paying insurance, then waited so long to tell employees that everybody missed the opportunity to use it as an eligible life event and switch to their spouse's insurance etc.

• Insurance claims going back to at least December are being denied.

My friend needs to speak to an attorney. Any recs?

Questions they have:

Do they need an employment attorney here in Oregon, or one where the company HQ is located (Connecticut)?

Does anybody have a solid employment attorney rec?

Can they file for unemployment since their current employer is breaking contract by not paying them?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
