Hi All, just wondering if I could find some help from someone here for an issue I am experiencing with a Recruitment Agency? Basically, I did some IT work for a client through a recruitment agency. My timesheets got approved and paid to the agency by the client, but they failed to pay me. I am trying to contact their payroll but I don't any response just silence. How can I chase this company without taking them to court? that would be last resort.

Report them to the ATO?
But wait! The ATO is too busy helping themselves
Perhaps speak with the client. They may contact the agency and let them know they won't get any further work if they don't pay contractors such as yourself.
Hi folks, thanks for your advice, I have just done that - wrote an email to the Client.
Islund, I am not sure this is a case for ATO.
I would send a letter of demand for payment stating the payment time frame from your contract/agreement/invoice using registered post to their postal address.
With your email have you cc'd in HR, Management and payroll or is it just to payroll?
