Sample letter to your employer

Template
Information on what you should include when you write to your employer about underpayment of wages or entitlements.
Last updated:

As outlined at step 2 on the steps to making an underpayment complaint you should put your concerns in writing to your employer.

This letter can be used as a template to help you write to your employer about your underpayment concerns.

Your letter should:

  • Provide as much information as possible about how you believe you have not been paid your correct entitlements. A letter that contains facts without emotion is more likely to assist in resolving the matter.
  • Contain information to support your claim such as a copy of the Wageline WA award summary.
  • Set a reasonable timeframe in which you would like a response – for example 14 days.

Please edit and print the second page only.
