You quit, got a work book, and the employer is in no hurry with the final payment? Take action without delay. Your former firm may soon file for bankruptcy. Or her leader will simply disappear in an unknown direction. Don't tempt fate - seek your legitimate money as soon as possible.
Instructions
Step 1
Much depends on how you received your salary. If it was official and taxes were paid from it, it will be easier to get money. If anything, you don't have to fight your former employer alone. By connecting law enforcement agencies, you will achieve success faster.
Step 2
Make an application to the labor inspectorate, describe the whole situation with non-payment of wages. In parallel, you can write a statement to the prosecutor's office demanding an inspection of the enterprise. It is unlikely that you will be able to bring your former employer to criminal responsibility - this requires the fact of intent, which is very difficult to prove. But calls to the prosecutor's office will be provided for him. A couple of conversations with the prosecutor make many defaulters much more accommodating.
Step 3
Without waiting for the result of the checks, file a statement of claim in court. You can go to court at your place of residence if it is more convenient for you. Attach a copy of the employment record with a note of dismissal to the statement of claim.
Step 4
The trial will take place in about a month. If he decides in your favor (and, most likely, he will), the case will be transferred to the bailiffs. They will have to collect the debt from your former employer within the time frame specified by the court.
Step 5
Be sure to find out the phone number and the name of the bailiff who will take care of your case. All coordinates will be reported to you in the district bailiff service. Do not ignore the situation - regularly find out how your problem is being solved.
Step 6
Please note that if there are no funds in the company's accounts, it will be difficult to do anything. If you know that money goes to other accounts opened for subsidiaries, or cash is regularly brought to the firm, tell the bailiffs. It is in their power to seize disputed accounts, company property, confiscate furniture, computers, official vehicles.
