Anybody else have an employer who "forgot" to pay them

[RedTartanLass]

This is my first full month back at work after maternity leave, and my employers have not paid me!!!

They are not a small SME but a part of the Department of Education and Skills

I know this will get sorted out, but at this moment £600 overdrawn and by Tuesday probably double that. My nanny has not been paid and her rent etc have been refused payment.

I am incandescent with rage, and am sobbing uncontrollably. Effing B8sta8rds, who do they think there are!! I have phoned the Wages Manager who confirmed that I am on unpaid maternity leave. Oh effing really!!! I went back to work 27 March you incompetent fool.

He said he will contact me line manager and get back to me in a few minutes. "Oh effing really!!! They're all on strike"

Anyway phoned him 5 minutes ago,and still waiting for phonecall!!

Feel a lot calmer for typing it all out, poor ds2 was falling me around going "Sowee mummy, sowee" He thought I was crying because of him wee soul.

This is a DES cockup and they should pay any additional bank charges you incur. I am sure there will be a policy for htis, although you probably will not have access to it.

Can you get hold of your lime manager, or his/her manager, or anyone with more authority? Can HR tell the Wages Manager that you are back at work?

Whoops! Just seen the other version of this thread.
