Any one know about employment or payroll law

[Rich76]

recently left a job and was due my final wage today, an amount has been paid in to my account but it is much lower than expected and much lower than the company have declared they are paying on HMRC

I have asked for an explaination but doubt I’ll get one , haven’t had a pay slip ( only had 2 in my time employed by them)

I will be speaking to ACAS and HMRC today but was wondering if any one on here is up on these things and can offer any help

Only thing I could think of is if you’ve used more holidays then accrued maybe they’ve took money off you from that. My old employer did

 

[Rich76]

Nope they owed me a few days but even then that should of gone through the Hmrc feed

 

[Rich76]

Just had a nice chat with Hmrc and ACAS.

Need to draft a strongly worded email /letter and send to them looks like I could be off to a tribunal

 

[Rich76]

Looking at my pension payments they have been deducting it but not paying it in

 

[Audi Bairn]

Either way they must issue you with a payslip and ultimately a P45.
Re the pension, I’d take professional advice on that one.
Out of interest, how long were you permanently employed by them? You have significantly less rights if it’s under 2 years, but my points above still apply.

 

[Rich76]

Only had one payslip from them in the last 9 months
Have just sat and gone through my Hmrc account and compared it to what I was actually paid and there has been a difference each month

Looking at my online pension account there are nearly 50% of my payments missing

I have spoken to the pension administrator and they have advised I speak to the pension regulator but this will have to wait till Tuesday

Well, it's tricky and with lots of variables.
The date you started , and the amount of holidays accrued /earned and used are lots of ways HR can find loopholes.
Also tax codes etc.
It also depends on weather you were agency employed or full time company employed and if there was a period of probation.
Loads and loads of loop holes and blags mate.
I suggest you have a meeting with payroll if possible, and be prepared to be blown away with figures and bu**#@it because that's what these people specialise in.
Take notes too.
There are no hard and fast rules sadly.
Good luck.

There is no hr it’s a one man band as a director

There is no hr it’s a one man band as a director

Hopefully you don’t need to go this far but a one man band will not likely be in a position to defend any legal action / tribunal. So if you don’t have any luck yourself, I’d get a legal person to write to him in the hope he’ll settle.

If you're in a Union they should be able to help with appointing legal advice, if they think you have a case. Legal representation should be free through the Union, (That's what you're paying for).
