STILL waiting redundancy money

chriz1

hi my mrs was made unemployed from a shop along with 25 others they cloed just one brance and have several others trading throughout the country,she was promised her redundancy money of £300 and also hoilday pay she has had her holiday pay but no redundancy money she even had a letter saying the exact amount she was owed for this,but after 2 months and several calls still no cheque.
Is there an organisation that will sort this out for her?
i remeber a someone telling that this company takes over the chasing and takes them to a small claims court on your behalf for free,with much better success.
Live in west wales if this matters..

I think this is probably a relatively simple employment tribunal claim.

you have 3months less a day to start the claim

The starting point is an ET1
But you might need to do a final letter

ET is the right way to go. As there were 25 redundancies, did they go through a formal consultation? Must have been a minimum of 30 days. This will have been either with the union or elected representatives.

If this was not the case, then she would also have a claim for 90 days wages for failing to follow the correct procedure.

Let us know.

Have you tried contacting ACAS?

You will need to consider making an Employment Tribunal claim - You have 6 months less 1 day to make the claim for Redundancy Pay - Make sure you don't miss this deadline.

You should put your demand for payment in writing to the company as a grievance and await a response before you make your ET claim.

ACAS or your local CAB will be able to help you complete the ET1 form.

There is a suggestion on this page http://www.employmenttribunals.gov.uk/FAQ/faqs.htm that you should contact the Redundancy Payments Service if you are having difficulty getting your former emplyer to pay you, although it's not clear if this only applies after a tribunal ruling has been made in your favour.
