Bad Service - No Communication!!

I worked at Migration and Investment for over five years and was committed and dedicated throughout my time there. When I resigned in July last year, I was due my final salary, which unfortunately was not paid.

I opened a CCMA case to seek resolution, but was approached by the company’s legal team and asked to withdraw the case, with the assurance that payment would be made. In good faith, I agreed and withdrew the case. Sadly, this turned out to be a tactic, and only a partial payment was made months later in November. Since then, despite multiple follow-ups, the remaining balance has not been paid.

I was told not to contact the company and to deal only with their legal team, who have since become unresponsive. Now during tax season, I’ve discovered that my payslip does not reflect what I was actually paid—leaving me potentially responsible for tax on money I never received. I have requested that they correct my payslip, but this too has been ignored.

Late salary payments were a regular issue while working at the company, always explained away due to financial struggles. While I have made peace with the fact that I will likely never receive the money owed to me, I am writing this review not out of spite, but to raise awareness.

The company’s combination of financial instability, poor communication, and complete lack of accountability is unacceptable. What’s most disappointing is the disregard shown to someone who gave years of loyal service.

If you’re considering working with or for this company, I urge you to proceed with caution. And to the company—if you do read this, please at the very least amend my payslip so I am not taxed on funds I never received.
