I recently faced a tough situation after being fired from a landscaping job in the Netherlands. I worked there for just a week, and when I informed my employer that I needed to fly back home for a braces appointment, they let me go. They promised to pay me €500 for the hours I worked, but things took a turn when I didn't receive my payment as expected. Initially, they told me I would get paid six weeks after my usual pay schedule, which is on Tuesdays. After waiting for six weeks, they asked me to fill out some documents that I hadn't completed during my employment. I know I should have taken more care with that, but I complied without hesitation. Now, two days after submitting those documents, I reached out again to inquire about my payment, but they opened my message without responding. I'm feeling anxious about whether I will actually receive the money they owe me. I moved abroad for this job and was on the brink of homelessness after being fired. I'm planning to follow up with them again, possibly on Monday or after Tuesday, but I'm starting to worry that they might refuse to pay me altogether. As an Irish citizen, I'm unsure of my next steps if they do refuse. What should I do? Who can I contact for help in this situation?
