Sounds as if the business is in trouble to me, I wouldn't bank on being paid.

Hi there, just wondering why people think I probably won't be paid? Dont my employers have to pay me legally if still trading? No idea..? Thanks

Danni - you would be better off starting your own thread to be honest. But if there is no money in the bank account, there's no money. You will need to follow a creditor process if the company has been wound up.

Hi, I have started my own thread but not sure if I did it right so appreaciate your responses. I hope I get what I am due, really relying on it and thought my employer would have to pay me as they are still trading and I did everything by the book. Oh well, fingers crossed. Thanks

Hi thanks for your reply. The 1 months wage would be for 1 months notice...?

But it is you who is giving the notice, not your employer. Your employer hasn't dismissed you without any notice.

The date of my leaving was meant to be yesterday - 20th of January which is why I am concerned at not receiving what I am due. If the company is still trading today am I not legally entitled to be paid? Not sure what to think

Yes, you are legally entitled to be paid, but if there is no money in the business, I am afraid you will have to add your name to the list of creditors. The saving grace is, that employees wages are quite high up on that list and are normally one of the first to be paid out of any assets that might be left.

I have now posted this reply onto the other thread.
