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.

So glad to hear this. Hope you are still putting in a formal complaint though. Somebody needs an official boot up the backside.

my employers did that once. i had gone on holiday too! on holiday with no money. they did do a transfer very quickly when i phoned up but they paid me too much. after several phonecalls to head office to tell them this (by me and my manager) and no return calls, i kept the money

Think if they 'forgot' to pay me, I would 'forget' to turn up for work!

mumfor1standfinaltime - PML....nightowl, they've paid me too much as well, poor man just gave me anything to shut me up!! Feckle, I'm definitely going to complain,and have already sent the email!!

i did save some money to go on holiday btw, i was just including that months wage in it nice little bonus it ended up being.

RedTartanLass - glad you are sorted.
It can be frustrating when you return to work and they mess you around. My employer tried to get out of paying me a company profit share bonus, just because I had been on maternity leave! I had to fight for it too!

RTL glad you are sorted, chat soon :)
