hello,
I was working as a waitress in a restaurant in noord holland for 6 weeks as an expat. there were several employment issues and a team meeting was held. i was the only non-dutch member of the team and was not permitted to join the meeting (the only member of staff who was not invited and the only one who was not present -as result). the manager opened the meeting explaining that i was not at the meeting as i was not dutch (informed to me by my colleagues who were present).
i made the decision to speak with the manager the following day with regards to the matter and how i would not work in that environment and was told that he did not want to speak to me and walked off. i emailed my notice and left the building. it was a part time signed contract with no notice period, rotas made the on the sunday for the coming week etc. in the email i wrote my reason for leaving and that i expected pay. i never got a reply. today (21days later and 1 day late of pay) i contacted my employer that i was not paid, he asked me to submit hours but then stated that he would withhold pay and blocked me on all networking platforms.
does anyone know where i stand on my employee rights or any ways i can challenge this employer? it is 14 days to christmas, i am desperate.
