Complete incompetence!

I started the complaints process with the BIBC on 06 June 2022.We had a few meetings between the employer Riverside Turnkey Projects and myself and it was set for arbitration.This is where everything started going wrong! The representive Lizan Akkerman suddenly had her notes regarding the meetings stolen and she lodged the complaint completely wrong for arbitration.She was then instructed by the commissioner to adjust the claim to include all the outstanding money the employer owes me. I had no contact for more than a month from her . Everyone else kept assuring me that they are waiting for the commissioners award. I again and again explained everything to 3 different people from her boss, Johan Nester, to his boss Jeandre Steyn and she still ended up filing a claim for less than the original claim!!!! So now I am still out of pocket. I am getting less than I would have had she not adjusted the claim. These people are supposed to protect the employees that are being stolen from by the employers and they are not doing this at all. I am made to feel like I am the perpetrator in all of this because they drop my calls and try and avoid me. They keep brushing me off and telling I am making false allegations against Lizan since is doing what she is supposed to. All i want is what I am owed. Not even my last wages was awarded, only what the employer stated they paid me incorrectly, which was not even calculated correctly according to their spreadsheet! All the proof was there and they just didn't do their sdue diligence by getting this right. I am taking this to every higher power and newsagency I can. It Is not going to stop here.
