Dismissal without a Contract - any rights to payment in lieu?
My daughter and her friend have been working for a garden centre cafe since May as weekend staff - they're 18. There was a fire - apparently from a dishwasher- and the cafe and kitchen have been destroyed. Staff have been told today they have been dismissed as obviously their jobs no longer exist. Would they be entitled to…

Previous employer owes me expenses
I'd appreciate if literally anyone can give me advice. I left my previous employer on 11th November. I incurred expenses the day before (10th) which I submitted on the relevant system and which were approved on the same day. The way it worked at this workplace was expenses would have to be submitted and approved before COP…

Unfair dismissal ?
I’ve been working for my employer for 1 year and 5 months. I was given a verbal warning in September because they noticed gaps during my shifts. I begun getting retinal migraines due to long periods of computer use. I informed my manager of this, he said he will order screen protectors to help which wasn’t done. As nothing…

Employment tribunal - schedule of loss
Grateful if anyone could please provide some advice. I'm preparing a schedule of loss for a tribunal claim. Part of the claim is unfair dismissal - I am arguing that a valid redundancy situation did not exist and no meaningful consultation took place. I received redundancy pay in line with the company's policy, and managed…

Pre-employment checks
Ok, so my daughter has been in Uni for 4 years, she's had some odd jobs during that time. She's applied for a role which is fixed term in Financial Services ( quite junior ). They are asking for copies of bank statements for specific periods to prove she was not employed, or on benefits. I'm not happy about this as her…

How long to dispute deduction of wages?
Hopefully when the dust settles, this will have ended up being nothing more than a what if question, but it's best to know in advance. Nothing signed in terms of a contract to say that approval is given to make deduction from wages. So say the employer makes a hefty deduction. I'm going to hazard a guess in the £200 region…

Hypothetical question stuck at tax threshold
This is a bit hypothetical as my fortunes could change, but I'm a limited company director and I receive a basic pay that's under the NI threshold. That plus my dividends puts me right at the end of the basic rate for this tax year. Right now my company isn't making any money but there's enough in the coffers to keep me…

Am I being underpaid at my new job
Started a new job in October and my current wage is under £19,000 per annum. I am 23 years old, nearly 24, and living in Scotland and I thought the National Living Wage went up - not sure if it is illegal to be paid less than that. Just don't want to start chasing them and asking questions if that is not the case.

Can an employer deduct money from wages to compensate for a mistake? Post Office banking error.
Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this question - hopefully someone will point me in the right direction if it's not. A friend of mine recently started work in a village shop that incorporates a Post Office. A couple of days ago, during a busy period, they made a mistake with a customer using the Post…

Anyone got HR knowledge?
I’m due to go on maternity leave soon and I want to take all my holiday leave beforehand but work have said I can’t do that, as I haven’t accrued it all. Is this correct? My argument was that I will still be there in a year so that shouldn’t matter as I would still have accrued it on maternity leave.

Unemployment/sickness insurance
Does anyone have experience with unemployment insurance? If so, what is your opinion and if you ever had to use it. I'm just thinking that you never know how life might turn out. For example, you might get redundant or get sick and not be able to work. There are certain benefits one can claim but these might not cover…

Penalty Charges
My employer has decided that any penalty charge notices will be automatically paid by them and deducted from my wages, without allowing me to appeal them. While it does say in my contract (though is this a fair term and condition) that I am liable for paying these, surely I have a right to be able to appeal a PCN. Quite…
