Apart from the salary for the days you worked, you should also be entitled one month salary in lieu of notice since they have terminated your service verbally without notice. Go and make a complaint at the Labour Department.

Thank you very much KL Siew for the prompt reply. Agensi pekerjaan the hunter group sdn bhd is really a bad company. First, they offer lower salary than promised during interview. Then they don't pay you after firing.

Below is what i emailed my ex-employer (George):

17/8/09 - Max

Hi George, Max here. I still havent receive my pay for July, please let me know when u will bank it in for me or do I need to get the cheque from u personally. Thanks.

17/8/09 - George

I did bank in the payment to you on end july. But something error happen due to the checque writing error. will bank in to you again. Or maybe will get you to self collect the cash from me once my account get it fix.

It's not stated in my offer letter that notice of termination is for permanent status.

I'm currently working now so it will be difficult for me to collect the pay personally, can i ask him to bank-in instead? If he refuse to bank-in must I collect it personally?

What is the best solution for me, wait for the salary or file a complaint with Labour Department?

Give him a phone call see whether cheque is ready. Go and collect it. If you still fail to get your money, you have no choice but to make a claim for it at the Labour Department.

Assuming what your boss said is true that you were terminated with 24 hour notice since you were under probation, you should be paid as follows:

 Sec.20. Payment on normal termination of contract

The wages, less lawful deductions, earned by but not yet paid to an employee whose contract of service terminates in accordance with section 11 (1) or of section 12 shall be paid to such employee not later than the day on which such contract of service so terminates.

Thanks for helping, i will try to resolve it peacefully if possible.
