I have recently resigned from my job and have received my final fortnightly pay. My final payslip showed my leave balance being around 140 hours. This was not paid out to me.
Should the leave balance have been paid out to me in my final pay? My final day of work fell on the Friday of the first week of the fortnightly pay cycle. I gave my notice 16 days before my final day of work (two weeks of notice was required as per my employment contract). I had been working for this employer for 10 months. My company email account has already been deactivated. I emailed my boss using my personal email, asking about my leave balance and stating that it has not been included in my final payslip. They passed the email onto another employee with my leave balance as of the start of the month (20 hours less) so I added my final payslip to the email trail. There has been no response yet, as of the last 24 hours.
Am I missing something here? Does anyone have any advice about next steps? I appreciate all input :)
