If the employer defaults on wages without reason, workers can call 12333 to lodge a complaint or report to the local labor inspection department or apply for labor arbitration.

If the employer fails to pay wages on time, there are two ways to request payment of wages:

1. Workers can complain to the local labor bureau for labor inspection; Advantages: The method is simple. Disadvantages: The enforcement of laws in various places may not be very strong;

2. You can apply for arbitration at the local labor bureau and demand payment of wages. If a labor contract has not been signed, the employee may also be required to pay double the salary for which the labor contract was not signed. If the termination of the labor relationship is based on wage arrears, you can also request the payment of economic compensation. Advantages: In addition to wages, you can also claim for economic compensation, double wages, etc., and it can usually be resolved eventually; Disadvantages: Applying for labor arbitration is like filing a labor lawsuit, which requires more procedures and requires professional guidance.

Article 33 of the "Shandong Province Enterprise Wage Payment Regulations" If the enterprise and the employee terminate the labor contract in accordance with the law, the enterprise shall pay the employee the wages due in one lump sum when the labor contract is terminated or terminated. .
