Salary reduced by 37%-but I'm the only one?
People I hope someone can help. I started a new job as as PA and Office Manager 7 months ago in a website/software company.

Posting on behalf of another MSE user due to the nature of this post: I have recently (in the last month) started working for a fairly large company.

Employer went into my account to 'reclaim' overpayment
Up until fairly recently I worked for Santander (believe me, they're no better on the inside). I had no clue what to expect as my final wage (not having kept track of my own holidays, plus there was a potential bonus I didn't know if I could expect or not), so when £808 went into my account at the time I would usually get…

Former employer making demands / accusations
Thanks for reading, I'm sorry if I ramble with this as I'm in a bit of shock. Several months ago I left my employer. My fixed term contract had come to an end and I was told that I could apply to continue the work on a sessional basis, but with 3.5 fewer hours per week. Unfortunately this would have dropped me below the…

TUPE, new contract concerns
Hello, I was transfered via TUPE recently to another company. After I returned from maternity leave last year I was allowed to reduce to 4days a week instead of my contracted 5 days.

Emplyee off sick but I think it is not true
Like the title says, one of my employees called today sick for the whole weekend. But I remembered that she told me a while ago that she had theatre tickets for a show in London tonight.

work related stress
My boss, at a meeting today, told me he couldn't see why I have been signed off with work related stress as he has never had a sleepless night over work issues and can't see why I can't cope..he hasn't even begun to address the issues I raised in a letter I wrote him explaining my concerns and worries. What next ?
