I am a full time employee currently stood down without pay. I was offered and accepted this full time roll on the 14th Feb and employment contacts finalised the same day. Payroll number and training login issued on 21st Feb. Online training started on 27th Feb - online logs available. 1st day in store 2nd March- store manager advised me to complete certain online training before in store start. Employer now advises I am not eligible for job seeker as employment contract only become valid on 2nd? have spoken to both an accountant and the Ato who both agree I should be paid but the employer will not listen.

Put it in writing to the employer they are breaching the law, give them 7 days to start paying, and if no result go to the Fair Work Commission.
