i was offered a contract to start with a new not yet established real estate company on 21/11/2017. The contract was signed but not returned for signing by my employer.
The The business opening was postponed until 30/04/2018. In the time between the postponement I began working on the business plan, assisting in setting up the new office decorating painting, digital/print/social media, website content building, listing presentations, pre opening planning and but not including attending weekly meetings. This work was completed after hours of my normal job.
I was never compensated or paid for any of this work or agreed to be. One week before the opening of the real estate I was informed the business would not be able to pay my wages when the door opened and my offer was terminated.
Do I have grounds to request compensation for all of the work completed?
