[ChicksGold] – Unpaid final salary & contract termination without settlement (Remote employee)

I understand this type of report is not the usual case here — it’s not about a trade or gold transaction — and I apologize if this is not the proper section.
However, I’m posting this because ChicksGold is a well-known merchant on Sythe, and I worked for them remotely under a signed contract.
My employment was terminated, and my final payment has been withheld without justification.
After multiple attempts to resolve this directly with HR and management, I have received no payment or clear explanation.

I’m posting this here not to create drama, but as a last resort for visibility and support from the community, since I know several staff and users here have dealt with this company before.

If the company settles the pending payment, I will gladly mark the report as Resolved immediately.
Thank you for your understanding.

Summary of Issue:

Hello,
I’m opening this report to document an unresolved employment issue with ChicksGold, where I worked remotely as part of their team like Sales Representative.

My employment was terminated on October 2, 2025, without prior notice.
The official reason provided by HR was “a review of performance and role adequacy.” However, five days later, the company changed its explanation, claiming the existence of “ethical concerns” and using that to withhold my final payment, which remains unpaid to this date.

Despite multiple written follow-ups, I have received no confirmed payment date. My last payslip shows a partial amount, with the remainder marked as “payroll under review.”

Contractual Basis:
According to the employment contract signed (see attached):
- Clause 43: Termination without cause requires 30 days’ notice or equivalent payment.
- Clause 45: Final payment must include all earned compensation and accrued benefits — including vacation, bonuses — without undue delay.
The employer’s refusal to release payment or provide a date is a clear contract violation.

Timeline:
15 Aug 2025 – Contract signed.
7 Oct 2025 – Termination message from HR.
7 Oct 2025 – Follow-up sent requesting cause confirmation.
9 Oct 2025 - Official reason provided by HR was “a review of performance and role adequacy.”
10 Oct 2025 – Payslip shows “payroll under review”.
15 Oct 2025 – HR states “ethical concerns” and demands source disclosure.
16 Oct 2025 – Final written request sent invoking contractual clauses 40, 42, 43, and 44 — no reply received.
Despite this, no payment or date given.

Additional Context & Evidence of Professionalism:
Throughout the employment I communicated respectfully and professionally. I did not share any confidential data nor acted unethically.

What I’m Requesting:
1. Full final payment including all accrued benefits and 30 days compensation, in line with contract.
2. Written confirmation of payment receipt.
If this is resolved promptly, I will mark this case as Resolved on Sythe.
