I thought employment contract fell under State law? which certainly differed from one jurisdiction to the next.
sedky, personally I would see not being paid as a real worry.
Is the employer a well known, reputable organisation?
If your friend does decide to travel she should ask for a copy of the travel insurance policy under which she is covered, and she should check it to make sure the cover is adequate.
She also needs to know what expenses the company will be paying while she is away, i.e Taxis, hotels, meals, phone calls.
Is your friend expected to pay her expenses while travelling and claim them back from the company?
Because if they're not even paying her salary when they should I don't rate her chances of getting reimbursed any time soon!
I think your friend should be making copies of every bit of correspondence she has with the company regarding her employment conditions and this trip. Either in paper format kept safely at home or forwarded to a personal email account on something like gmail.
