Employer holding on to a few hunder euros for the past few months, and promising to pay it later. Never paid. Where can I report them? I figured there’s [https://www.vero.fi/en/About-us/contact-us/efil/reporting-suspected-tax-evasion/](https://www.vero.fi/en/About-us/contact-us/efil/reporting-suspected-tax-evasion/) for reporting tax evasion (which is probably the case here too) but need to get the wage first.

Found this from migri website. Also, you can contact your union

If you have joined a union contact then, if not then tyosuojelu will help. Työsuojelu.fi
Not an expert, but they need to pay the correct salary. There might be some difference on the outcome whether you have agreed to some delay or not. I found this from an union website, where they advise to inform the employer and accountant of the wrongly paid salary. They need to pay and you should ask for a reason for non-payment. If they state that they cannot afford to pay, you can get the salary from Ely-office who then collects the payment from the employer. If you belong to an union, maybe contact them.

I’m not 100% sure if you can do this due to unpaid salaries, but I think if you want to be a real asshole, you could contact a lawyer to see if you could set in montion bankruptcy proceedings against the company. Obviously this will cost you more than the unpaid salary, but it would also cost your employer more.
When you get the pay be sure you get it with the interest you’re entitled to. They owe you and and must pay extra for being late. Edit: [This page is what you’re looking for](https://www.tyosuojelu.fi/web/en/employment-relationship/pay/outstanding-wages)
I hope I’m not late with this, but join the union. That’s really the only way to get proper support, but you usually need to have been a member for a few months before the services kick in to avoid freeriding.

You could contact Aluehallintovirasto (AVI) as well.

That would be the case when you’re “paid under the table”, unknowingly or not, i.e. employer doesn’t report paid salaries and pay withheld taxes and pensions.
You should be able to check that about a week after the payment from https://www.vero.fi/tulorekisteri/
