Employer not paid me

[seriousone]

Not sure if anyone with legal experience is about too help,I was working for a company for few wks without a contract and I left without notice as I got another job(was going to leave anyway as paying petrol out and not earning much)as I had to start another job asap but they haven't paid my wages for work done and im looking for advice on what I can do about it as ive emailed with no acknowledgement but I need the money

Try your local Citizens Advice? www.citizensadvice.org.uk/
And stop doing any work without a contract...

ok will do,hoping someone knows the legalities of this as I have emailed three times without a response

Did you resign by email- did they acknowledge that?

Hi flowery yes by email which they acknowledged(but also put in writing)but ive heard nothing since and I emailed requesting an acknowledgement about my wages but ive had no response,I just want paying for the work I did..

I would ring them, speak to your manager or payroll. Maybe the payroll date is next week, not all companies pay at the end of the month.good luck.

Hi
The paydate was defentily the 30th and ive tried contacting them without a response,iy is a small company two manager's that do their own pay role

Does nobody answer the phone?

Do you have any proof you worked?

If you had no contract I would say your very unlikely to get the money. Without proof of employment and terms of contract they could just argue it was voluntary and you have no proof to the contrary. Sorry its not what you want to hear but I don't think your odds of being paid are high.

Hermione,the only proff I have is rota showing my name but that doesn't prove anything does it...
Headsup unfortunately im thinking the same that I wont get the money sadly

Hound them, by phone and email every day. And you'll have a better chance. If they don't acknowledge or respond to your emails then send a formal tone one telling them unless they pay you monies owed you will be seeking legal advice.

Sounds dramatic but it happened to me once with a recruitment agency. They paid in the end. Don't let them away with it! Your time is precious, they don't get it for nothing!
