Please help- Under paid work issue.

[EvilEsky]

Hey all, have a question...

I been working at a local chicken shop for about 2 years now (not on the books) and am getting paid 10 bucks an hr. The fish and chip shop owner, that is next door to my work, said that im getting under paid, and i should ring the wage hotline, and tell them about it and he will have to back pay me. He said that in 2002 the act got redone for payment in a take away shop, and the legal amount for under 18 was $13.67, and seeing im over 18, it should be more then that. That same night, the owner of my shop sacked, me im thinkin that he may have heard the convo and crapped himslef. not sure tho. My questions is, should i try and get some kind of back pay for the 2 years i have been working there even know that im not on the books? is there a way i can get the back pay? or am i just getting stuffed around? has anyone been threw somthing similar that can help me with the finer details or if i will be just waisting my time! thanks for any kind of reply from anyone, any info is good info, thanks!
