I was a self employed delivery contractor and was paid fortnightly via invoice. Previous pay was advised that I had been overpaid due to person putting in the pay (primary contractor) entering payment twice. He rings me to tell me that I had been overpaid.
Today is pay day however he tells me that he has deducted the overpayment without repayment arrangement. I had invoiced him for 2 weeks work and should have 1100.00 odd dollars due.
I had a personal loan given to me by other primary contractor of 4700.00 repayments at 250.00 per fortnight.
Last week I had to finish work. As we don't get paid for days off I would have had to have several days off for doctors appointments which I would need to make. I made the decision to leave work which I did Friday last. I had been employed there since November 2012.
I rung him and asked if he was putting my pay in, he tells me no that he had deducted the full amount owing and the balance of my pay was being held until personal loan paid.
Please advise.
