NSW Unpaid overtime

[Obaid]

I have been working with a company as a manager, though i am not covered with any award nor i had any written agreement with the company. My hourly rate was $51.25 and my company set it for 40 hrs/ week.
The ordinary working hours are 38 hrs/week but i used to work more than 65/hrs a week 6 days a week. The overtime hours never got paid according to my hourly rate and still got paid only for 40hrs a week. And later on somehow i was forced to terminate my employment. Now how should i claim these overtime unpaid hours and on which rate should i claim according to law. I worked more than 6 years with that company and was not aware of laws earlier. Please can someone guide me as still my final entitlements are unpaid by the company and i have to find a way how to get paid for my overtime work hours.
How my overtime rate will be calculated on which rate it should be calculated?

I also have a company letter stating i work 42 hrs which was issued 4 years ago and i am paid 95k for it at that time.

Have you contacted them and ask for their position about the overtime rates and their processes? For a friend of mine, their company were happy to agree immediately to the last 3 months, but the previous ones would require a longer process of executive and director approval...

 

[Obaid]

Yes i approached them and they deny to pay. May hourly pay was above award so they deny to pay me off

 

[Poidah]

Do you have an email for that? Or written evidence of their refusal?
It is tough without a contract, award or if you do not have anything written though. And there are strict Fair Work time limits for an application too - Welcome to the Fair Work Ombudsman website

Talk to an employment lawyer.

You may have a claim for up to 6 years worth of wages but the lawyer needs to get more detailed facts.

Thanks for that. I will surely be in touch with lawyer
