old employment... money owing

notagoodsituation

Morning all.

I left my old employment last year on 20th June. My salary was 17500 plus bonus. Now I am aware that in my last month I was not elligible to earn bonus, however, my fibal payment included 201 goliday pay.

My boss had agreed verbally i could carry over some holidays from last year, which i did. And I took them (5 days). Do you think it would be worth writing to them to ask how they comprised my holiday pay, because by my reckoning 201 is not even a week?

Thx xx

Did you not receive a payslip for your final month's wages as this should show you what you were paid for. Could be worth contacting the company to send you a copy if you have not received it.

I'd ask them to send you details, payments like this can sometimes be more complicated than you think. My contract for example is based on a 7 day working week, even though I only ever work Monday to Friday.

This means you never say you are sick on a Saturday and Sunday as it affects your long term sickness. If you are sick on a Friday, you always say you got better by Saturday morning. It took me years to work this out and I always said Monday as it sounded better.

This method also affects our pay calculations and hourly rate calcs, so I would ask them if I where you. They should be happy to help.
