i have worked for my employer for 5 years in her resturant,apparently it closed down last year April,she had agreed to pay me my long service money monthend of July,but up until today she tells me stories about the money.
when the shop closed down i had no job and she said i can come work for her in her business that she runs at home.
i do not get any payslips to show how much i earn.
