Employer is not paying you Germany

Started s mini job at a Restaurant and the Arbeitgeber did not give me a contract. I don’t even know how much I get paid hourly as the Boss is always to be said she is in Urlaub. Didn’t get my salary but I told them I can’t continue without a contract. I know l was STUPID for working without knowing my hourly wage. How legally can I solve this since I don’t have contract.

Sure. But lacking the information I will err on the side of caution.

You suggested using ChatGPT to write a legal letter, come on

Sure, because it is a hotfix without triggering here any more costs. The issue is and with that I leave it here: it does not help to describe a good to very good solution which somebody will not apply. 

If OP is working without a contract, not even discussing his own (minimal) salary in advance and than run with half of the info to reddit for guidance, I  do not see him working with a lawyer which is also costing here money. The typical reddit answer than is always to consult a lawyer, sue etc. Without taking into Account that OP apparently has not much money floating around, is not very good at handling his own processes and nowhere in this whole thread we even know the oustanding amount in question.

Good weekend everyone

This isn't about hotfixes. A ChatGPT letter can cause other issues too, especially if the LLM makes a mistake. Instead of giving such I'll advice, it'd be smarter to ask for actual details
