Employment: wages and conditions

For details of who to contact see Disputes about employee entitlements (INFO 160).

You can contact the Fair Work Ombudsman if you would like to report someone who isn't complying with workplace laws or you need help in resolving a workplace issue about:

• pay – e.g. penalty rates, allowances and loadings
• leave – e.g. annual, sick, maternity and parental leave
• ending employment – e.g. notice, final pay and redundancy
• discrimination and other workplace protections
• sham contracting
• union membership and right of entry
• anything else covered by an award, enterprise agreement or other registered agreement.

You can also contact the Australian Taxation Office about issues such as tax, pay slips or superannuation.

If you are an employee of a company that you think is no longer carrying on business and you are owed entitlements, you can submit an online report form for ASIC to wind up the company. See Abandoned companies.
