ADVICE
According to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, an employer who refuses to pay your salary is in breach of contract.
As an employee, you can lodge a complaint in writing with the employer.
If that doesn’t work, you can lodge a complaint at the Department of Labour.
You can also still have a civil claim against the employer for breach of contract.
