I've lost over 7000 EUR of income from a German company over vague contract clauses which I was too lazy to sort out when signing it, because my boss and I had known each other for a long time when signing, and I fully trusted him. 3 years later, the company was sold, and the new boss started to randomly fire people on any given day he saw fit. One day I've got a call that I should stop working on my tasks immediately. I was supposed to be paid until the end of the month coming after the month in which the notice was given, but they've never paid - not even for those ~15 days I already worked in that month - and German courts could not care less, plus it was difficult/impossible for me to chase them, being based in another European country.

Always be careful about what exactly do you sign - the circumstances may change considerably, however unlikely it seems at the time.

Just want to say that here in the US, if your employer ever doesn't pay you what you think you're owed, contact the Department of Labor. There's a division dedicated to making sure the employer doesn't play games with wages. They'll show up real fast, possibly even that day, and your employer will pay (plus fines).
