Hello -
Wondering if anyone has any experience in this/ HR and employment law and can offer me some advice?
Long story short - I've been with my current company a couple of years. They messed up my tax/ company car which meant I was unexpectedly left with a very large tax bill after year one. It took months to come to a resolution but the company agreed (in writing via email) to give me 3k compensation. They then insisted that this would need to come into my pay check rather than directly to HMRC which meant I got taxed on it. To combat this, they said they'd work it all out and pay me more to mean I received 3k after tax... however, this didn't work or their calculations were incorrect and I ended up getting just 2k.
I emailed the contact in HR on the day of my pay check where I was meant to receive the 3k, followed up 3x since, and have still not had a reply.
Due to other factors as well as how this situation has been handled, I've been looking for new jobs and got offered a new role today. I'm really excited by it, but I'm still owed this 1k by my current company!
I don't want to tell them I'm leaving until this is sorted as I'm worried they'll back track but I'm literally getting 0 replies from HR about it. What would you do?
Thanks in advance!!
