Hi everyone

I'm hoping to get some advice please.

I recently started a job in Albufeira working for z new bar.

I worked 14 days straight and was constantly asked to do more hours without a day off.

The employer kept saying that she would give me聽 a contract and then sort out what hours I was doing but this never emerged.

Whilst there I spoke to other staff members and realised that there was an ongoing issue with wages.

I left because I managed to find another job but she is now refusing to pay me for the 2 weeks that I worked and is deliberately ignoring any messages that I send her.

Does anyone have any advice please?

Thanks in advance.
