Check and prepare a final pay query

Agency: Fair Work Ombudsman · AU

Organise your dates, payslips, leave balance and questions before asking an employer or adviser about final pay.

Steps

1. Employment details — Identify the job, employment type and important dates.
2. Pay and leave — Collect the numbers you can see before asking for help.
3. Professional boundary — Classification, award coverage and underpayment claims may require advice.

When to see a professional

If the dispute involves award classification, sham contracting, dismissal, large underpayment, threats, time limits or formal proceedings — contact the Fair Work Ombudsman, a community legal centre, union or employment lawyer.
