Owed wages and redundancy.

Thebiguglyone

Hi all, I am after a little guidance on this issue....

The small ltd company I work for is going bust, I am expecting news that I am out of work very shortly.

I have been employed by them for 17 years so have redundancy to come which I understand I will have to claim from the NI fund.

I also notice that I can put in a claim for unpaid wages too but am unsure how I will get on as our wages haven't been paid straight since April ish.

I am paid weekly :rotfl:but like I said, they have been coming in dribs and drabs, £200 here and £250 there paid into my account and the occasional payment in my hand, I also have expenses for car parking and the like which I haven't received.

Unfortunately I haven't received many wage slips either, about 9 or 10 for the period so have been unable to keep a regular check on what has been owed to me. I have pestered for these regularly but to no avail.

The only proof I have of my wage payments are my bank statements but obviously the cash in hand payments aren't going to be on there and I also have the added headache of having payments made to my account in advance for fuel for my van. I don't have receipts for the fuel I have put in as I handed them over straight away.

By my rough calculation of 25% deductions for tax and NI, I estimate to be owed in excess of £900 which is something I can not afford to lose.:(

Any help or direction on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
