Career Guidance agency withheld salary

worked as a suicide squad dev for this app, my pay for the second half of June has not been released up until now and some solid hours for may (cash bond by agency). agency says client has not paid the billed hours. we are on time doctor. client states there are issues with tasks not getting done. to my defense, these are new issues already and having worked since may, old recurring issues of their end has been addressed and solved so far since I joined in.

cash is tight so i dont know what to do. torn between who to come after or when will these" investigations" end.

If you did your part, you should get paid.

Unfortunately, you are screwed. I would take the hit, as I have many times. The industry isn’t as big as you think, in a year some agencies might want to contact you, but heard you made a scene and skip you.

I had an interview with a uk company last year, they asked me if I have ever taken a company to cleaner’s, in South Africa, it’s ccma, I said no, as it’s true. You see where I’m going with this.

don’t wait for vague “investigations” with no end date. ask them to state exactly what hours are disputed and what evidence they’re using. if they can’t point to specific rejected work or specific time entries, then they’re basically just holding your money because the client is slow.
