That is so terrible katherine! I hope you will manage to get your money some how. If not I'd definately go for Blackening their name.

My friend had that happen to her with Inner Harmony, they underpaid her big time. So she took them to court, well, threatened to at least, and the forked up. Maybe it is worth seeing a lawyer about it, how old are you? If your a student or under 25, (i think that's the age) there this pretty good law help people. Where are you located, Sydney, Melbourne, i know they have branches there... i think they're called 'First Stop' it's a free service, they tell you if you have been screwed over, and what to do about it.

egads! Speak up girl. Don't let them get away with that. Or at least approach a manergial person. If they don't respond, go over their head. I'm sure you can get it back.

That's pretty crummy. If they don't have a pretty good excuse for not paying you the $9.29 an hour, then they'd better cough up with the dough (sorry), or they'll be facing the wrath of Ober.net!
