Common Wages & Pay Issues

  • Unlawful Deductions from Wages
    An unlawful deduction from wages occurs when an employer reduces pay without legal authority or agreement. This may include unpaid wages, incorrect deductions, or withheld expenses.
  • Holiday Pay
    Employees are entitled to correct holiday pay. Disputes may arise where overtime or commission is excluded, leading to potential unpaid wages claim situations.
  • Bonuses and Commission
    Disputes can occur when bonuses or commission are delayed or withheld. In some cases, this may form part of a Claim Unpaid Wages depending on contractual terms.
  • National Minimum Wage
    Employers must comply with minimum wage laws. Failure to do so can result in pay disputes and claims for unpaid wages.
