Could someone who perhaps understands these terms point me in the right direction with this?
-30 months employment set at an agreed formal salary by email (selection of email negotiations with clear agreement on salary but no contract or proper terms given),
-confirmed in post without problems after probationary period,
-9 months later told a dip in salary for the coming months has to happen due to business doing badly and would be reimbursed ASAP written letter given to say not agreed and that we expect payment and will be looking for other jobs (no luck on the jobs front)
-after 13 months on reduced salary presented with a backdated contract to sign refuse to sign, present them with another letter demanding reimbursement of wages
-wages go up after meeting and begin to be reimbursed very very slowly each month
-7 months later hand in notice for the end of that month stating that we expect full payment
- They send employee home after two days and only paid 2 weeks out of the months notice refusing to pay any more
-they sent an excellent reference to new employer
-Employee was without work for two weeks
So I believe it would be classed as unpaid wages but what about the confusing options of dismissals? Could it be wrongful...constructive...unfair dismissal (or all..help) in the last month to effectively terminate employment half way through given notice period without good reason nor ability to answer to any dismissal?
I'd be grateful for any opinions on this..(we cannot afford a lawyer, we're stuck for money and I can't get into the free law college help centre due to childcare issues)
Any thoughts?
