@desototwo,
I can understand your frustration and anger, you need EDD to survive whilst looking for new employment.
I am from Australia and so, I don't know the "law" there, but I am betting that you have to have pay slips, to have been paid as evidence and then transfer of that money into your bank or if cash "rare" you would have had to sign off for that... I would suggest you report him, nicely and calmly to them and suggest that he provide both pay slips and account details of payment transfers.
