Unpaid Wages / Wrongful Deduction Kit

Three tools, in the order you'd actually need them — every one of them completely free to use.

This kit covers two related but distinct situations: wages, overtime, or a bonus that was never paid at all, and money that was wrongly deducted from pay you did receive. Pick the generator that matches what actually happened to you, then use the communication log to track everything that follows. Every generator and template below is completely free to use — no account, no payment, no catch.

Pick your situation

These two generators aren't sequential steps — they cover different problems. Use whichever one matches what actually happened, then track the follow-up with the communication log below.

Situation A · Never paid

Money simply wasn't paid

Unpaid wages, overtime, accrued vacation/PTO, a bonus or commission owed, an unpaid trial shift, or unpaid mandatory training time — one consolidated demand letter.

Situation B · Wrongly deducted

Money was deducted without proper authorization

Dispute a till shortage, damaged equipment, uniform cost, disciplinary, or unexplained deduction taken without valid consent — demands full repayment within a reasonable timeframe.

Template to use alongside

Free, downloadable — track every conversation with your employer after you send either letter above.
