Organizing dates and proofs when wages are not received

If your payday has passed and you haven't received the money, first organize your records of when you did what you did and how much you were supposed to get paid. You can check counseling and reporting routes through the Ministry of Employment and Labor's guidance on non-payment of wages. This article is intended to help you prepare for consultation, and does not guarantee payment orders or collection results. If you also have concerns about your stay, please explain your situation to the relevant counseling agency and inquire about support routes. Organized chronologically Write down the starting and last working days, promised payment date, and actual deposit date and amount in a table. If you only received part of it, separate the amount you received from the amount you didn't receive. It is easy for the counselor to check the difference if you separately display the estimated calculation and the amount written in the contract. Materials to collect We store employment contracts, wage statements, attendance records, work instructions and payment promise messages, and related deposit details. Do not delete the original, but organize it in a format where you can check the date and the other party. When using peer resources, we recommend that you do not disclose personal information without consent. Inquiries and follow-up confirmation Prepare the name and address of the business, the contact information of the person in charge, and your work details, and ask the official labor consultation center about the procedures. If you have already filed, note the case number, requested supplementary documents, and the date of the next confirmation. If there has been verbal abuse or other human rights violations, organize the facts separately from wage issues and inquire about the appropriate reporting and support window. Rather than trusting the word of an unofficial broker who promises a solution and asks for an advance payment, check with official contacts.
