Monies Owed
BECTU can help freelance members who’ve not been paid with monies owed cases.
First stop is to contact the Branch Mobile to see if we can offer any personal advice for you to try before taking a more official route.
If you are still having issues, download the form on this page, fill out all the info you can, adding any relevant documentation & email everything to
Most of the time a letter from BECTU HQ results in payment. Where this approach fails BECTU will seek legal advice on your behalf.
Where a monies owed claim has to go to law, BECTU can provide you with a briefing on the Small Claims Court which is designed to support claimants without the need for legal or professional representation.
Membership also provides access to a range of legal services.
