    and has totally cut me off

    Makes no sense

    We could have helped each other out during covid by me going onto PUP instead of them paying me. But they almost broke their neck to pay for me sitting at home when everything was locked down

    Now when the sh1t is really hitting the fan they decide to cut me off completely. It's almost bipolaresque behaviour

    What am I missing here relating to this????

    Not worried about any the other stuff. I know where i stand in terms of entitlements. just why this behaviour

    Well they can't just cut you off as that's in violation of the payment of wages act.

    So you're redundant now?

    You'll be due back pay for hours worked and due redundancy then if that's what they're doing.

    Not a clue. Just strange behaviour. I know there's physically no work there sure.

    But why the pay during covid for doing nothing when i could have gotten PUP and they store away funds for a rainy day which we are having now

    Sounds extreme

    Im one of their main if not their main employee so I will be the first one back when it does pick up. Im not worried on that front

    In all likelihood your employer was registered for EWSS, that is coming to an end and the rate dropped on March 1st. If your wage was above PUP payment, you benefited for 2 yrs while you did nothing.

    If you know there is no work for you, surely this isn’t a surprise.

    Yeah but they acted during covid that the money was coming out of their pocket. Their portrayal then was that they were going out of the way to pay me during covid

    I could have got even more through PUP :D:D

    This is comical sorry. They're on the system's side then. Im not out to get them

    Sorry but even 2 junks or drunks could form this to a better scenario than they have
