I'll leave out all the extraneous details, but yesterday, my boss contacted me to say the business was officially closing and my last pay had been processed. Previously, my pay stub would come in the last few days of the month, and the pay itself on the 1st. As of today, I have received neither. Further, my boss did not respond to a question I had about my pay yesterday, nor are they responding to any messages today. Coupled with the fact that my boss has vanished from social media and texted me using a new phone number, the situation feels extraordinarily sketchy.
My understanding is that Lønmodtagernes Garantifond should pay my wages in this case; but should I be expecting that to happen automatically, or do I need to make contact? Further, my boss has historically been quite bad about tracking my hours accurately, so I do it myself and submit the hours to them each month. I did this last month and have screenshots of me submitting it to them, but is that sufficient evidence to get paid accurately?
Before it gets asked, I'm not part of any union. Tak for hjælpen!

kofrd1lYou chose not to be part of a union and support the work they do for you and your colleagues. Selfish, but obviously up to you to decide on that. Now, however, you want the help that a union provides.
You reap what you sow.

kofthw7I didn't choose that at all, I have no idea who my union would even be; I've never been told anything about who the union is, I've never heard a co-worker mention the union, and this is the first job I've had since moving to Denmark. I would've loved to be a part of a union.

kofu8e8Ignore him. A union had nothing to do with this but could only provide you with the same answers as this thread has done - for this issue.
But for your next job talk to your 'tillidsrepræsentant' or 'arbejdsmiljørepræsentant' and they can probably guide you to the proper union. If not, ask on Reddit. In Denmark we have a strong union tradition which protects us from abuse, and bot being part of one can be seen as freeloading which is why you got such a hostile response.
Good luck.

kofxihfThat really depends on what kind of job he has and the company.

kofveyaGood advice, thank you. I'm a big fan of unions, but unfortunately like I said, I never really got much info on it. I'll remember it for the next job!

kog7hegDid not say the union had anything to do with his situation, but that he was seeking the help a union could provide. Didn't say the union could provide help besides what was given in this thread either. Hope your reading comprehension studies pays off.
Good luck.

kogi7o2Dude. Fuck off.
"you reap what you sow" regarding no union "I did not say a union had any thing to do with his situation"
Pick one, or just don't reply if you can't be constructive.

kogkicuReferring to the fact that he wanted advice on what to do, which is what a union provides. Again. Good luck with the reading comprehension. "Dude".

kogigl2Where does he write he wants help from an union?
checkingthefacts at 2024-02-01 17:20:28+00:00 ID:
kogkwodHe wants advice on what to do now, which is what a union could provide and would provide had he been in one, which he also seems to know, since he preemptively mentions he is not in any.
