not confident of dealing with your boss yourself.  Having a representative may be especially useful when you are negotiating new terms and conditions of employment, or you are dealing with a problem or issue at work.  Your representative can help you understand the implications of any discussions you have with your boss. What do I need to do before I leave? Check with your employer about any requirements you have to do before leaving.  Before you leave the work place on your last day make sure that you return any property (such as tools, uniform etc) that belongs to your employer. When can I expect my final pay? Check your employment agreement for when your last pay may be -- in some cases it may not be on your last day but on what would have been your next normal pay day.  Your last pay should consist of wages owing for hours worked from the beginning of your last pay period until the end of your last work day, as well as payment for any annual holidays which you haven't used and any alternative holidays you haven't taken.
