Hate to be a downer but when i’ve known people get done over like this it’s usually a case of your word against theirs and even small claims wont really wanna get involved. Def get legal advice and see where that gets you. Probably for my own sake id go and write down everything i’d done and what i’m owed for while it’s still fresh in my memory. Hope labour laws are stronger in Norway than they are here :grimacing: good luck wr.

Good! I guess if there’s anything you can do to support your case in the meanwhile. Itemising stuff, gathering correspondence, etc. cant hurt.

Not really much help, but if you need someone to represent you in court by doing an over the top impression of a lawyer from films, I’m happy to do it.

well for a start every letter and phonecall her lawyer is having to send she’ll be billed for so make sure you get in touch about 100,000 times

I would suggest you instruct your own lawyer if you can and ask your lawyer to communicate with hers.

I do not have a lawyer or the means to pay for one

email the work person and say you have spoken to your lawyer and have been advised to tell the popo and they are gonna go down for this.

Are there any free advice services similar to Citizens Advice Bureau? Or lawyers who may be willing to work pro bono? Failing that, it might be worth googling to see if there are any templates online that might be suitable.

Have thought about this and my professionsal advice is to steal a horse in lieu of payment.

Yep, looking into all of this stuff already. Also the national Labour Inspection Authority and similar.

I think the main reason they’ve not been forved to change the way they run their business is because they mostly hire quite young girls for the seasonal work, and they don’t have any work experience or know what their rights are etc. This summer there were three of us aged 30+ with solid work experience, and none of us were happy.

Did you sign a contract or any kind of memo/agreement for the work? Even if not, an email agreeing terms should suffice.
