VIC Can my employer decide to keep a deposit from my pay undiscussed?

I don’t want to work with them anymore . My fair share is what I want from them . Could you help me out with a written statement that I should send to them that states where they are wrong and would send the money asap . PleAse

Perhaps, if they want to pretend that your are a contractor,
then treat them like a customer who has not paid a bill.

"You are on notice to pay me $X. Should you not pay me before Christmas I will likely seek legal advice, and that is in neither of our interests."

I agree sham contracting is a possibility, but at a practical level you may lose your job if you seek to enforce your rights as an employee. What is more important to you - working (albeit temporarily till you find alternative work)? or being paid according to the award?

Suggest you keep working till you find alternative employment then go after what is owed.
