Questions workers ask

My employer keeps my bank card or controls my salary account.

Current guidance says the foreign worker’s salary is paid into the worker’s bank account. Control of the physical card, PIN or access credentials is a separate and potentially serious issue because it may prevent the worker from controlling wages. Document what access you personally have.

Urgent safety issue If you are in immediate danger, use emergency help. Do not confront someone if doing so could put you at greater risk.

What to do next

  1. Do not share PIN/passwords where you can safely avoid doing so.
  2. Record bank payments and withdrawals.
  3. If there is coercion, theft or immediate danger, seek appropriate police/support advice.
