Have not get paid is correct grammar?

No, "Have not get paid" is not grammatically correct.

The correct way to say this is:

* "Have not been paid"

This uses the present perfect tense, which is appropriate for situations where the action began in the past and continues to the present.

Here's why the original phrase is incorrect:

* "Get paid" is an infinitive phrase, which is not normally used directly after "have" or "has."

* "Been" is necessary to form the present perfect tense with the verb "pay."

Here are some examples of how to use the correct phrase:

* "I have not been paid for the last two weeks."

* "We have not been paid our bonuses yet."

* "They have not been paid for the overtime they worked."
