Employer wants to change my contract to commission only!

in Employment, jobseeking & training
On monday my employer stated that myself and another employee are no longer going to be paid a salary from next month! It was stated in a matter-of-fact way, and no notice (verbal or written) was given. I immediately said I wanted to see these new T&C's in writing and was assured that I would be given a written copy of this decision.

Note, at any time, I did not agree to these terms, and wanted the written confirmation so I could have grounds for unfair and/or creative dismissal. Since then no mention has been made, so I am still awaiting the written T&C's. What would be my next move?

    Yes I am. I can see this devolving into a jump or be pushed scenario, but I want to know my rights all the same.

    No legal cover, but I'm sure some "no win no fee" employment law solicitors will jump at this (seemingly) rock-solid case. :)

    They cant do that without thorough consultation.

    Are you in London I can recomend a briliant solicitor if you are but youll have to pay for it

    Are you in a union?

    Yes, I am in london. You can PM the details of the solicitor, that would be very helpful. I do not belong to any unions, unfortunately.
