I’m 19 and work at a retail shop, have been since last October, recently my friend started working there too and she realised we both aren’t getting paid our right amount, and i’ve sat on it a bit because my dad just committed suicide and i truly couldn’t be bothered looking into to it, but without calculating the correct amount just in wages they’d owe her around $400+ and me over $1,500. Now, i just saw that post about someone’s employer not paying their super and it prompted me to check mine which i don’t regularly do and it turns out neither has mine despite it being on my payslip, what do i even do at this point?
I know the company is struggling financially, it’s a small business, and my employer plans to close this store (he has one other store) as soon as the lease is up (not sure when that actually is though). Neither I nor my friend signed any employment contract, but I am an official employee, have been receiving payslip, and i signed an online kind of contract back in like october but i don’t remember exactly what it was. My friend doesn’t receive payslips and didn’t sign a contract
I’d rather not be out of a job but i also know that it’s not right or fair to not get the right pay or super, especially since i’ve learnt from this group how important super is.
is it true that if they go into bunkruptcy we won’t get anything? his other business is thriving so
