Hi
My issue is quite long so I will be brieve, or try to be
1/ I had worked as a bookkeeper, being once a week at a sport club for over 1 year.
2/ On the top they sent me emails all week long making me unable to work elsewhere
3/ I gave a lot of discounts that I stated on my invoices (thousands)
4/ On the top I have done work I told them that would be invoiced later on.
5/ I left disguted as I was abused constantly, and worked overnight or week-ends and w/end overnigth and the club always whinging for cost but wanting excellence in my work.
6/ Anyway, I had stopped working for some years before starting with them and then found out I should have been an employee and not a contractor.
7/ I send a letter of demand to the treasurer surely showing this to the president. There were for 3 invoices: 2 unpaid and 1 for the uncharged work, previously put in writing and presented to the Admin who said to present it to the president who did not take it.
The reply was that they shall not pay me for the uncharged work, and pay me for the rest after whatever.
My concern is for the invoice for the uncharged work.
8/ I resent the summary of charge and letter of demand to all the directors.
A different answer come re: that uncharged work: it was that they offer a 1/3.
I have told them twice that they have not specified why they won't pay or pay 1/3.
They do not give explanation.
That means for me to regroup 14 or 15 months of sort of evidence: in terms of checking all emails received in my private inbox for the period and comparing against my invoices and diary.
This is a huge huge work and I am finding out that they are more work I have done that have passed within the net, and that I worked for peanuts.
As they rest and play game, I am again working for nothing regrouping information.
I am not suing them until I finish my huge work to be ready to present in court eventually and that means I can't do other things at the moment.
At the moment, I think of going to the local court and eventually if not going to Fair Work. But with Fair Work the issues are complicated: staff do not give discount, staff do not work for nothing, pay is on award and I, as a contractor, have been paid above award, and how to account for the amount of work, for eg: emails date/hours > not showed as charged in invoice, I never had breaks working onsite about 10h a day but only 3 times 10 mns and uncharged them as stated in my invoices. I have been abused: not talked to or coffee proposed...That is why at the moment I may aim at contracting work rather than employee issue. However I have contacted the ATO super and that is in process
-
Question: What is our position (in terms of client-supplier) when the client does not specify why they won't pay or make an offer without giving reason? They also asked that with this offer I make no charge at all against them
Thanks a lot
