Hi, sorry to bother, I was just wondering if I could possibly get some help from someone.
I have a pretty serious case of anxiety to the extent that at one point of my life I kept going to the hospital 3 or 4 nights a week thinking I was having heart attacks. I had recently found work through a disability job provider which helped get work by supplementing my payments because of my anxiety.
I have recently been working with one employer for 8 months, but we made arrangements that he would pay me $200 a week, and I would just be given the money that the job provider, who would give back to him at the end of my agreement. He signed a form stating that I was being employed under the base rate for a labourer. I don't remember the actual hourly rate but it was supposed to be $750 a week, which obviously I have not been getting.
I have now been told by a friend of my boss that he has no intentions of ever giving me any money and has no intentions of my agreement leading to a job, so I was just wondering if I have a case to do something about this or should I just cop it on the chin? I don't have any pay slips to show what he has been paying me cash which was fine with the job provider, but as I said, there is a signed agreement stating that I should have been paid over this period of time.
Any help under employment law would be greatly appreciated.
