This form is a general example of the complaint commonly used to report unpaid wages to the Ministry of Employment and Labor. It is not legal advice. Circumstances differ from case to case, and where and how you file may differ too, so before you file, get advice in your own language from the Ministry of Employment and Labor customer center (1350). The advice is free and does not ask about your visa status.
