Woohoo I stuck by my guns and after a fair few taxing emails I won!!!! Going into the office today to sign off on everything I'm entitled too!! And now my 90 days to find another sponsor starts!! Wish me luck!! thank you to everyone for your support and advice, it's all been very much appreciated indeed xx cheers all xx

It's a really horrible situation to be in and I agree with you re document everything... I think I'm doing the right thing by going in in the morning and then when I'm told there's no work for me I'm going to ask of I'm going to be paid.. Re the obligation the company has to me through the sponsorship and when they say no I'm going to ask for it to be put in writing... Then call immigration and the fair work people..... I can't believe my boss is doing this to me.... Like I said, I've been there for 2 and a half years and I know other people are being made redundant, not just me but my boss said that because he'd done right by me giving me a job etc, that I should do the right thing and resign!!!!! It's a joke surely?!!!

I am going to seek advise from fair work Australia and immigration but I'm sure that it's illegal to finish me without any redundancy money, and I'm under the impression that if I resign then my chances of finding another sponsor under that circumstance is limited.. Looks very bad for me type thing i will definitely start looking for a new sponsor... But all this has been by phone call so far and even though I've been told not to go into work, I've been advised that if I don't at least go in and make myself 'available for work' that they could fire me on 'abandonment of work'.... Yes I want to stay here and it's extremely important for me to do so but surely what he's trying to do is illegal not to mention extremely unfair? lady rainicorn : I've been with the company for 2 and a half years so in addition, the redundancy money would help towards keeping myself afloat for the 90 days ish until I find another job, I agree re keeping relations good but like I said before, surely he can't do this?

Any advice would be very much appreciated... I'm on a 457 and have 15 months left on it, no problems with work until now.... My boss has told me there's no work for me and he won't make me redundant as he's not prepared to pay me anything and has asked me to resign.... I'm not going to but I don't know what to do now? Any ideas? Cheers, Diana
