To expect to be paid

[notbeenpaid18]

I started a job on 3rd August. It didn’t really work out, so I only did a few shifts but Aibu to still expect to be paid?

Op. Is that previous thread you? Or is there a parallel mumsnet universe somewhere that we've just glitched to?

If you actually did 60 hours in 3 days then you did not have proper rest periods. I'm assuming it was over at least 5 days?

Im really confused about the other thread, tbh

I have no recollection of it and it’d not on TIO

But I’m wondering if I posted it when half asleep

Sugar no, I know, the hours were unworkable tbh

So you did 20 hours a day, yeah? For those 3 whole days you were employed in this position? Not judging or shocked as I do that some days/weeks/fucking fortnights ... But that's what you did?

First weeks payroll you wouldn't have been on. Did you hand in your P45 or fill a P46 in, so getting you set up etc, which would mean the next may not be ready to process. Its not the 24th yet so wait.

In split shifts, yes.

So no sleep for 3 days??

The way it works is paid for more hours than you do so in theory yes in practice no.

It's making no sense to me. I blame it on working 12 hours today and a 90 minute journey each way on top. No way could I do 20 hours a day for 3 days.

If you can prove you worked you're legally entitled to be paid at least minimum wage.

🤔

So you didn't do 60 hours, like you said.

You are being evasive and you know you are. The issue is no one can give you advice when you are purposely not telling the truth.

Really?

Maybe the 20 hours includes being on call? Such as in a care role? You sleep but get up if called?
OP - I think you should be concerned about your memory/MH. Having discussions on another thread just a few days ago, but having no recollection of it, is very concerning.

On my rota, I did 60hours so I should be paid for them. It’s not being evasive - it’s just not en exact science. Like Diana has said.

I had a problem recently getting paid. After getting pushed around between various different departments and no one taking responsibility, I spoke to acas for advice.

I was told the first step was to send an email to the line manager who I worked for and was responsible for authorising my time sheet and also copied into payroll and the HR manager. The email set out the hours worked, how much was owed.

I was also told to include a paragraph about the financial impact of not getting paid (I really resented that, it should not matter if I have 3 kids to support over the summer or intended to use the money to take a bath in Moët).

The acas advisor also said to give them a reasonable length of time to respond, failing which further advise about industrial tribunal will be sought from acas.

I gave them 5 days notice and the money finally came through a total of 3 weeks late.

It seems I was caught between departments merging and the powers that be hadn't thought or cared about how lowly bank workers on the front line would actually receive payment.

Thankfully I have a new job starting in September, so don't need to worry about needing the audacity to ask for payment for work done.

Good luck op. Send an email today and ask acas if they still don't pay you the money owed

None of this is making sense.

However to answer your question yes I would expect to get paid for the work done.

Surely it's not legal to work 20 out of 24 hours

This thread is hilarious!

You should get paid for the work you did.

It is very concerning you don't remember your other thread.

I can't see another thread from op?

If you can't remember posting the other thread, maybe you have been paid, spent it and forgotten
