Claiming outstanding salaries and entitlements for arbitrary dismissal
Hi
I need to ask for a solution to my problem where I was appointed by the managing director and partner of the company.
I worked for 1 year in a company with their visa, after that they transferred me to another saying it's our company as the manager and partner of this company was also the same as my original company.
I worked there for another year but the salaries became irregular after a few months. My salary from the beginning was paid by the same manager and partner along with the other company expenses.
I don't know what was agreed between the 2 partners and the sponsor. When my salaries stopped for 5 months I stopped going to office as the manager was not responding.
I consulted the other partner and sponsor that I have not been paid and I will complain in MOL. But they stopped from doing so and tried to settle with me by paying only 20% of my final settlement which I didn't accept.
I have proofs of all the communications that I worked for both the companies. Now, my manger is not showing and partners disagree.
Advise.
