In order to avoid unforeseen problems with the proof of the amount of wages received in the future, first of all, it is necessary to get a job officially. However, it happens that in a legitimate workplace, employees receive part of their wages "in envelopes". How to proceed in this case?
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, when applying for a new job, be sure to carefully read the employment contract, which indicates the amount of the salary, how many times a month you will receive part of the salary, what other working conditions and other important details will be. If you have all the evidence of official employment, then it is quite possible to file a complaint with the prosecutor's office or go to court. No employer wants to pay hefty fines. Therefore, even your warning about your intention to contact the listed authorities may well have an effect. When checking an employer, the control authorities look primarily at the payroll. And if your signature is not there, it means that you did not receive money either.
Step 2
It is much more difficult to prove that there is no “black” salary. However, those who file a lawsuit against an employer who owe wages "in envelopes" know several ways to prove their rights. So, if the employer is oblivious to your warnings, the next step is to file a lawsuit.
Step 3
If one amount is indicated in the employment contract, and you received an amount several times larger in your hands, then, of course, the control bodies will be guided primarily by the statements. In order to provide proof of the amount you indicated, try to find an advertisement for an existing vacancy, according to which you found a job. Typically, these advertisements indicate the size of the proposed salary. Therefore, a clipping from a newspaper with an ad, certified by the editorial seal, can become an argument in court.
Step 4
The ideal option is to somehow get a copy of the document where the workers sign for receiving the "black" salary. Even a copy, obtained illegally, and not certified, can serve as evidence. Moreover, if its veracity is confirmed by witnesses.
Step 5
Perhaps you still have certificates of accrued wages (sometimes, at the request of employees, such certificates indicate the real size of salaries), or envelopes with your surname, in which, as a rule, illegal salaries are issued. Such evidence can also help bring your case to court.
