I am not being paid

What to do now

1. Write down each month you were not paid, and how much you were promised.
2. Ask your employer for your pay in writing (a text or WhatsApp message is fine). Keep their answer.
3. Don't sign any paper saying you were paid if you were not.
4. Call the labour ministry's complaint line. You can complain without your employer knowing.
5. Ask our team: we can help you complain and talk to the embassy.
