No Pay

DEEDEE30

Worked 14 hours last Friday for an agency who promised there was 3/4 weeks work. Got a text yesterday morning saying I wasn't needed(no reason given) and that they won't be paying me for my 14hrs worked. Rang the foreman at the job and he didn't know what the problem was. What can I do to make them pay?

You can take them to court, but that's a bit too far.

You go to the office and you talk to whoever and you refuse to leave until you're given a cheque for your 14 hours work.

that's terrible OP.

follow this link to the rights commissioner:

http://www.lrc.ie/docs/Rights_Commissioner_Service_-_Infor/234.htm

you'll see the form in the middle of the page about "Payment of Wages Act, 1991", and the form you need to fill in.

this is the specific form you need to fill in:

let your employer / agency know about this beforehand, and i'd be fairly sure they'll sort it out because they won't want to be taken to the Rights Commissioner. If not, the Rights Commissioner will sort it out for you.

i don't think there is a cost, but ring them to make sure.

Thanks for the advice.

They have now said they will pay my wages so fingers crossed.
