Underpayment Complaint
कम तलब उजुरी
Context: A worker contacts Fair Work about being paid below the minimum wage.
Officer
Fair Work Ombudsman, how can I help?
कर्मचारी
मेरो बसले मलाई घण्टाको अठार डलर मात्र दिइरहेको छ। यो न्यूनतम तलब भन्दा कम हो कि?
Officer
The national minimum wage is currently twenty-four dollars and ten cents per hour for adults. Eighteen dollars is well below the minimum.
कर्मचारी
तर बसले भन्छ — तिमी नयाँ छौ, ट्रेनिंगमा छौ।
Officer
There's no training rate exemption for adults. Even apprentices have minimum rates. Your employer is breaking the law.
कर्मचारी
म डराउँछु — उजुरी गरें भने नोकरी जान्छ।
Officer
It's illegal for your employer to fire you for making a complaint. This is called adverse action protection. We can keep your complaint confidential.
कर्मचारी
बाँकी पैसा फिर्ता पाउन सकिन्छ?
Officer
Yes, you can claim back pay for up to six years. We'll investigate and can take action against the employer to recover your unpaid wages.
