I finally quit my job of 4.5 years. I'm chasing up my ex-employer to pay superannuation, which apparently by law needs to be paid quarterly. She has been paying it all as a lump sum at the end of July or so. I've reported her to fairwork but not sure how long this process takes? And any chance I can get paid with the lost interest?
My ex-colleagues are also chasing her up on wages that were not paid with the correct loading - holiday loading, overtime and double time and weekend loading. Countless emails sent but still has not been paid. What avenue can she pursue? She is no longer working at the pharmacy either. We calculated it to be about $4-5k owing.
Yes, I wasn't actually aware that super needed to be paid quarterly until around a year ago. Still have a lot to learn about pay, but sometimes you trust the employer to do the right thing - which all my past employers have in the past. I have emailed and messaged the boss countless times, all the time she made the excuse she can't afford it and would have to reduce my hours to pay for super.
I finally found a new job that I am happy with so am just chasing up all these payments that she owes me and my colleagues. Looking into legal aid NSW and getting a lawyer?
You could call Fair Work and ask them, but it appears that they first have to decide whether to act on your complaint, then they need to conduct an investigation, then they need to decide whether to issue a notice, then the employer gets at least 14 days to comply with the notice, and so on. It doesn't sound like it's a fast process.
