Does your employer pay you a sufficient salary? The amount of your salary is laid down in your employment contract or in the collective labor agreement. Sometimes, however, there is still room for discussion about the amount of the salary.
Some employers pay wages late. In that case, you can claim the statutory increase. This can amount to as much as 50% of the salary owed.
In addition, your employer is obliged to pay the statutory interest on your salary. The statutory increase and statutory interest can quickly add up to a considerable amount.
Has your employer failed to pay your salary? Or are you being paid, but not enough? Then it is important to take action.
If you are unable to reach an agreement with your employer, we will demand that your employer resume wage payments immediately on your behalf by means of a wage claim. We will also send your employer a registered letter informing them that the longer they wait to pay, the higher the costs will be for them.
This demand letter often results in the employer proceeding with payment after all.
If this wage claim also fails to produce the desired result, then the obvious next step is to take the matter to court. In such cases, summary proceedings are the most commonly used means of enforcing payment in the short term.
If the employer has no valid reason for not paying your salary, the employer must also reimburse you for the legal costs.
