harrycatcat 31 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I dont know mate but ask at the citizens advice centre they should know and if they dont they will find out. Good luck and I hope things work out for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jayd 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 If it's down in the contract, it should give you the payment terms, including when. If he's not sticking to this, he's breaking his side of the contract. Simple as that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simple as that. it doesnt specify a day which they will go on... but surely "weekly" legally means within a 7 day period? if i get paid on a wednesday, then get nowt till next friday, tthen tthose 2 dates dont come under the term "weekly" i can dig out past bank statements, & highlight all his "payments" & draft them onto a calendar, then any numpty will realise that something is not right there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,597 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 You probably do have grounds for a claim but it will certainly hasten your departure , these days some moneys better than none .does he pay you all he's owe you although its late ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbithunter 456 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 i am paid what i am owed normally, but havent been paid now since 26 feb.... and al bet £1000 that no pay till at least tueday,,,,, it will be a hasty departure either way me & the lad that i pick up are being singled out, & in our letters it says he needs to discuss the loss of a major contract... & we know he HASNT lost it, hence why its a hasty departure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jayd 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Does he pay you cash? And are you classed as self employed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Is it just recently that he's been having trouble? If so it might be worth cutting the fella some slack, as times are hard. However, I've worked for an employer like that before, and it was a nightmare. I used to get what I was owed, but it was a pain in the arse because my bills were always late being paid.

Jayd 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Employers have a duty of care to pay your wages, part of the contract drawn up at the start of your employment. Obviously you may get it a day or two late now and again, but if it's a regular thing, he's breaking his side of the contract. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbithunter 456 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 its a regular thing it happend before christmas, when he was splitting from his wife, so we all cut him the slack then.... but there is no excuse now.....he keeps telling us he has "paid it in as normal" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
