Questioner

Best Legal Aid Clinic My wife only received half of her salary last month. Her employer indicates that he does not have enough money to pay her at the moment. How long should she wait before she can do something and what is the best thing to do?

Lawyer

Your wife must take immediate action by first reporting to UWV that her employer is no longer paying her wages. See http://www.uwv.nl/Particulieren/ik_ben_werkloos/ik_word_werkloos/mijn_werkgever_kan_mij_niet_meer_betalen.aspx. She must also summon her employer to pay her wages and notify her of the statutory interest and the statutory increase. For further advice/assistance, you can contact one of the employment lawyers here directly without obligation, e.g. via the 'direct contact' link that you will see with this answer if you are logged in. I'm happy to help you with this.
