    Hi all. I have just completed an 8 week internship with a local IT company as part of my final year college course. We were given a list of placements that we could apply for by the college - some paid and some unpaid. My one stated in the job description that it was pay at the minimum wage. I also have an email from my employer confirming details of the job which include this pay rate. 8 weeks later and no mention of pay. I finished the placement 2 weeks ago. I want to know my rights before chasing. Do I even have any as an intern? Many thanks for listening.

    Chasing?
    Why don't you ask them if you need your bank details or if you will be paid at end of the month. Then if they say you are not getting paid show them the email
