Employment claim for unpaid amounts
What is included and what is not promised
Wage debts become time-barred one year after they fell due, so every month that passes loses one at the back. The calculation is done under the collective agreement, not the contract where the contract underpaid.
What it includes: calculation of the amount owed under the applicable collective agreement; conciliation request before the mediation body; claim and hearing before the employment court. What it does not include: it does not include a claim to the wage guarantee fund where the employer is insolvent, handled separately.
Documents you will need
- Payslips for the period claimed and the employment contract.
- Time records or evidence of the hours worked.
- Applicable collective agreement if you know it.
