ato is definitely a creditor, but they'll only recover the tax. not sure =

waste (ie the ones who actually get back to you with useful info).
who is the adminstrator/liquidator?

Whoa, nasty! Obvious first points of contact would be the Australian
Taxation Office re. the unpaid tax and super - maybe they have some sort =

Employment,
Workplace Relations & Small Business might be another good source of =
help.
(On the other hand, this is the government - so she may waste an =
afternoon
talking to a pack of tossers who want to leave this in the Too Hard =

hopefully not!).
What else? Assume she's not a union member, and obviously it's a bit =

without signing her soul away!).
HTH, regards Andrea

The company in which one of our fellow Technical Writers worked has just
been closed.
She has received no termination payment, final pay, holiday pay and =
recent
superannuation and tax weren't paid. She was a full time permanent =
employee
for the past 14 years.
Does anyone have any useful advice or sources of assistance that she can =
use
to help get any money from the wash-up of this company?=20
I'm sorry to say that the ASTC(NSW) isn't able to help in this instance.
Thanks in advance.....
(I shall print and hand over any replies to her.)
