My employer has not paid me since the lockdown started. They applied for the Oppenheimer relief fund, for which I receive R750/week for 15 weeks. They have also applied for UIF and I have been getting UIF payments into my bank for that. Nothing from my employer.
Today 2 new staff members were appointed at my work.
I am really distressed. They cannot "afford" to pay current salaries, but they employ additional staff? Saying I have a bitter taste in my mouth is an understatement.
Where do I stand? What should I do?
