mattyD Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) As the title says guys, I am yet to recieve 2 months worth of wages and am starting to get a little pissed off!The guy who owns the company is waiting for his care homes to sell in which millions will be coming in but it has been going on for 5 years so i doubt this will be happening anytime soon! we keep being given different excuses "oh it will be tomorrow" "problems with natwest have caused us problems" etcI have already called in "sick" twice this week so i could enjoy some lovely sunshine Do i refuse to come in until i get what im owed?How would you handle it?I have a new job in which I start on the 10th of september but am worried that if I still havent been paid by then they will get funny about money being owed to me Edited July 27, 2012 by mattyD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Go into the wages dept and demand it is done now, and that you aren't leaving until it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Who do you work for? Id do what hou said Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 we dont have a wage department as such, we have an outside accountant who sorts out who is owed what the the wife of the guy who owns the place tansfers money to our accounts!We are quite a small company (7 people) but they claim there is no money even though i see the orders that go out and they have money to by forklifts etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 There you go then, steal a forklift Have they bought the forklifts or renting/financing them? Either way 2 months is a long time, go on strike? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 haha, I dont think I would get very far, the batteries are dead lol! they bought it from the company next door who went into liquidation.I am thinking strike action, but would maybe need to find out a bit more info on my "rights" and how it would effect further monies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm guessing you don't have a union then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Go see citizens advice about where you stand on the matter might find that you could get more than just your wages if you play your cards right. Just need to make sure he isnt a dodgey business man who wants to sell on the homes and then leave the company insolvent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 U are entitled to your money no matter what if it was me I would go into the office and just sit there and refuse to move or work till they transfer the money into your account or cash which ever one is easy for them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 As pick1 just said your entitled to your wages. Do you have a contract with them? Does it state how much money you should receive a year?if so got to citizens advice and explain your situation. Then ask them about a industrial tribuneral hearing. If your not the only one that Hasnt been paid get them to do the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I think you should put a written complaint into your employer, explaining exactly what you are owed and giving them a set time frame to pay it (say 7 days).Then if they don't pay up, I'd do what Flaminsam said and look into a tribunal hearing. Apparently there's also a 3 month time limit on a tribunal hearing so I wouldn't hang about!Failing all that, just get a summons issued to take them to small claims court, that should make them panic enough to pay up lol ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hou Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 He needs to learn a lesson yes, but do it sneakier. As long as mattyD keeps his nose clean throughout it can never look bad ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If its a small firm you are grade A fucked!Employment law is bollocks and there is no govermnet body who is interested in this kind of stuff. Some years ago I worked for a small firm who went bust. We got our last pay on a cheque which no suprise bounced.Contacted citizens advice who said I had to write a letter stating I wanted my wages and the other party has a month to reply. In that month they obviosuly fucked off and did nothing about it and to this day I saw no money! No one gave a shit so that was that.If were in a similar situation I'd demand cash while they are still around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 ^^ lol, not what i wanted to hear! haha!As we are such a small company, we have no union so I would have to go to see some one like C.A.B or give someone that specialises in employment laws a etc a call As far as I'm aware, there is a kind of history with him not paying, for instance, the company I work for sponsered our local football team and my girlfriends dad (who is a die hard supporter) mentioned that the sponser (my employer) never paid out at the end of the season, leaving the club in shit!we have however had a break through, i got paid £300! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
