NSW COVID 19 Being Stood Down No Payout

[Startledone]

I was stood down when Covid became an issue in March 2020.

I had been employed as a full-time employee for a period of approximately 9 months.

My ex employer has not paid my annual leave owing and never contacted me back.

I've sent a few emails with no response.

What can I do from here to be paid for my accrued leave?

Write a demand letter and send via registered post. Give then 14 days to pay, if not paid, see a lawyer.

Have you actually been terminated?

 

[Startledone]

No
Haven't heard back from my boss.

No termination certificate, no paper work, no communication.

They have even hired someone else.

The last communication was that I was being stood down.

I've heard they have hired someone.

I've found new employment and working full time.

I want to be paid what I'm owed.

The owner doesn't call me or try and negotiate.

I'm stuck between rock and hard place.
