NWU Assistant marker

I am an assistant marker at the university in the Education department and I marked but did not get paid my R3500 whereas I have submitted my contract in time and the other markers got paid yet I did not. I have been querying this matter for over 3 weeks now and they still not giving me an answer. Even the lecture I was marking for has been calling the Potchefstroom campus to find out what is wrong with my payment but no assistance.

I called the ********** given to me by my lecture and I spoke to a guy and he said to me yesterday that he was going to trace my payment and get back to me, gave him time to do that and called again yesterday and he told me that he is waiting for a response from the department and I gave him time again. Today when I call they are not picking up then I called again and he picked up telling me that he cannot get ahold of the HR from the Vaal campus and that they are responsible for the delay yet the Vaal told me that Potch is responsible for payments. Even called my campus the NWU Vaal and they telling me that they cannot help me. I was their marker and I deserve to be paid like the other markers were. It's unfair because I also have things to do. I have to purchase my graduation gown and reward myself.

I took time off my studies and other extra mural activities to squeeze the marking job and now they do not want to pay me.

I will not leave this matter like this and since they will be closing on the 22nd of December I want my money!

They are taking me for granted and I do not like it. Now their phones are just ringing.

The North West University Potch and Vaal campus do not respect other people and it's time I fight and stand for what I beleive in without fear.
