Ronan20 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I move back home next week. My old firm still owe me 1 weeks’ wages (they paid the rest), also they owe me rent money that was deducted from my final salary payment - that should never have been. I think that they are hoping that I will be on the far side of the world and there is bugger all that I would be able to do about it. We're talking about 4k dollars. I don't want to go down the route of a solicitor as they might eat up all that I am owed. What can I do about this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 When have they said they will pay you ? Have you spoken to the boss and payroll office and explained your leaving the country? Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le petit roi Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 You haven't got much time!! I haven't been through it myself but from reading the newspapers, etc. most industrial disputes and wage discrepancies appear to be settled by Fair Work Australia (http://www.fwc.gov.au/index.cfm?pagename=home). If you don't get much joy from phoning your old company (and get it in writing if they are refusing), you could do worse I reckon than call Fair Work Australia and ask for their advice on what to do next. Do it now though!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan20 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 I e-mailed pay-role last week, no response. I e-mailed the national HR manager to day, this has been passed back down to my old PM who has asked me to a meeting on Thursday. I fly out next Wednesday. I think that I'll be in touch with Fair Work Australia. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
