john_da_gun

At the beginning of the year my partner was diagnosed with a tumour on her brain and was taken for tests and so on. I informed work that she would be going for op an I did not know when as we was told to have bag ready as they will phone an let us no 24 hours before work was fine said just let them know when we do so gets to beginning of April we get phone call very early saying to be up hospital the next day so I phoned work and sorted time off. on my April pay day I noticed my wages to be a bit short so phoned my pay roll dept they told me I was down as AWOL for a week 37.5hrs and gave me the dates which was the week my partner went into hospital so phoned work and found out my manager had resigned within about 10 mins of our phone conversation an did not inform anyone so I got my phone bill out proved I should of been paid was told it would be in my may pay but didn’t happen spoke to them then was told it might of been too late to get it in my June pay so might have to wait until July even though I wanted my money I had now dropped down to 18hrs a week so I thought would boost my pay a bit but nothing after pay roll and my managers passing me back and forth my manger finally said I will be paid it in my October pay but it is not there this is now the seventh pay day without it I know it don’t sound like a lot of money but it is just a tiny bit over half my monthly pay I want my money but it just seems they are not going to give me it any advice on how to get it would be greatly appreciated

Don't fly off the handle, I'm sure no offense was meant. It would help because your long paragraph is written as one very long sentence which does make it very difficult to read. Some people may give up before they have finished reading it.

If you are not getting any joy from your manager, you need to file a grievance with the HR department. Do you know who deals with all the hiring/firing/discipline issues? That is generally the person you also need to see to log a grievance.

It would have helped - it's very difficult to read what you are saying and if people can't read what you are saying then they won't bother to respond. Since responses are what you want - it would have helped you.

Write to your employer and complain about not having been paid the money. That is all a grievance is.

It would have helped me read your post. As it is I can't be bothered, especially with that attitude.

Sar El, I am scared to challenge you because you usually give such great advice, but isn't a grievance a bit more than this?

My belief is that it would help to send a letter headed 'grievance', describing the situation. (If you simply hit the enter key twice at the end of every sentence, it would make the original post much easier to read - and this could form the grievance). At the end of the letter, say

I would appreciate it if you could send a copy of the company's grievance procedure with this letter, and let me know if there is anything else I need to do to comply with this procedure.

I'm just trying to make it easier for the company, who do seem incredibly inefficient and pretty stupid, as well as for the OP!

PS - John - if their failure to pay you has involved you in any costs, perhaps because of bank charges because it's made you go overdrawn, tell them about these as well, and ask for reimbursement.

All sorted now they said will be in my bank between 3-5pm. thanks to those who gave the advice I informed them that that was my intention. Within an hour they phoned back to say they will pay.

And I do not have attitude I had not long woke up I’m sure most people are sloppy with their grammar when they just wake up. As or not being able to read it that made me laugh so much, actually cheered me up a bit . Don't know how full stops or lack of prevents someone from reading. And that is not me being funny towards you that’s me just me thinking if you don't have anything helpful or advice and just want to point out peoples grammar mistakes why bother. I came to the site for help not lessons.

Actually no it really isn't. There is clear case law on this. An employer must treat any complaint whether verbal or in writing as a grievance, and if they do not do so they open themselves to legal action on the subject of the complaint. There is no requirement to even mention the word grievance. Of course, as with anything else, a verbal complaint is much harder to evidence, so writing is always the best way.
