| THOUSANDS of indigenous workers seeking millions of dollars in unpaid wages have won a two-week extension on the deadline after which all claims will be capped at $11,000.
Former apprentices, domestic labourers and their relatives who are chasing wages they earned between 1900 and 1969 had been given until tomorrow to lodge a claim for the full amount with the NSW Government.
The largest payment received in NSW to date was $44,129. But after the deadline, all successful claimants will receive a flat payment of $11,000.
The Government has extended the deadline to Friday, October 16 under pressure from the claimants' lawyers.
