Short questions
Which records can help?
The employment contract, payslips, payment records, termination notice and relevant correspondence can be useful. Distinguish the start date, receipt of any notice and the final working date.
Does every termination lead to the same entitlements?
No. The manner and reason for termination and the terms of employment matter. A particular payment or outcome cannot be established simply because employment has ended.
Should I wait before raising the issue?
Employment disputes may involve deadlines. Their starting point and the applicable route depend on the circumstances. Preserve the dates and have the situation considered promptly.
