Has anyone not being paid after your termination of employment in the private practice?


I've just submitted my resignation letter and given the boss 2 weeks' of advanced notice.
Prior to that, I do get my pay on punctual basis weekly. However, upon checking my banking online, I wasn't paid at all for my last week of week.
Therefore, I've emailed him and he claimed that there are several orthotics pending for reviews. Hence, he would let me know the outstanding payment by a week later. what the??
The bottomline is, how can you prevent your boss from not paying on time, especially after resignation?

note: I'm abit fuming at the moment as I am typing this out. Simply can't stand working for such a boss with poor managerial skills and zero basic courtesy.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Legally they have to pay you. Full stop. BUT, there is not a lot that you can do unless you can get some legal weight in on it and that costs $.

Just spread the word (not publically) about what happened - what goes around comes around. I know a number of employers who are finding it difficult to get staff. They only have to look at how they paid and treated previous staff for the reason. Even the graduating students hear about them on placements --- they get the reputation they deserve.

My understanding of the law is that the employer can not deduct amounts from the pay unless the employee agrees. If the employee does owe the employer some money, then they have to get that money of them the normal way and not from a pay deduction - but as Admin says, unless you have a relative who is a lawyer, you do not have much of a chance.
