Contact the apprenticeship board, your apprenticeship agency & seek advice. Being an apprentice there are contracts signed with the government. It's next to impossible for an employer to, cut your hrs or sack youHi people.
I have just finished year 1 of an adult apprenticeship but the last few months it has been increasingly hard to get my pay. In early January my pay (meant to be Fortnightly) was 11 days late so i cracked it and told my boss and his wife that this needs to stop. That same day i got long winded SMS saying my employment was going from full-time to part-time and was not required for the rest of week, i then asked about my parttime hours on the following friday and got a SMS on the sunday saying my employment has been terminated immediately and i should look for a transfer or a new job entirely.
So in a nut shell, i was given no notice and now im being completely dicked around on a weeks pay and the holiday pay im owed which is about 3 weeks worth that should have been payed into my account 11 days ago. Everything pretty much went down over SMS which i have kept for the record, i just want my pay so i can forget these scumbags exist.
Can fairwork do anything at all and do i even have a case?
