You should check the 'Letter of Appointment' given by them. If they have written anything against your problem, then you can file a case against them as you have a written proof.

Not to throw any spanners in the works - but should I assume that she has contracted hours of work and isn't on a zero hours contract? Because I don't see that we have established that the employer has to offer her work yet. Not wanting to upset any applecarts here, but it is necessary to ask the question.

i think it meant the letter she may have received advising her of her employment and terms and conditions, it should say that if notice is terminated what her entitlement would have been.

However:

I dont think there is legal statue to give a contract under 13 weeks of employ,ment after that im sure there is.

It may be worth speaking with ACAS for there thoughts , they have a number listed on the internet and IMO are very good.

but reality is if its a small business you prob wont gain much, in this day and age i would be after a good reference over a few quid.
Equally she should sign on for job seekers allowance which she is entitled to receive providing she meets the criteria for contributions and with a working partner can receive the allowance up to 6 months.
JSA may also give you a discount on your council tax for that period a well - normally if there two adults liabile , one is in receipt of jsa , a 25 percent deduction applies, it all helps in the long run.

Good Luck

Thanks for the translation.

The legal requirement is to issue a statement of main terms and conditions within two months.

I'm pleased you have had a good experience of ACAS, but I have not. I cannot possibly see what they can add to what has already been said on this thread.

The trouble is that is very difficult to enforce whereas getting the notice pay (assuming she is not on a zero hour contract) and the accrued holiday is fairly simple. Waiving the right to this money in the hope (or in exchange for a vague assurance ) of a decent reference is a gamble to say the least.

Well the reasons i suggested ACAS is they are known experts who will advice for free on the telephone. They will also gleam more infor re the full set of facts from the poster than this site has.

ACAS dont neccessary tell you what you want to hear but should advice in accordance to the law, so im assuming the poster that did not have good experience didnt get the answer of favour.

Secondly no disrepect but this site is not a expert where as ACAS are.

If the person/employer doesnt play ball and doesnt pay, your only remedy and there is costs involved and no guarantee of success is the county court and they take months to get in front of a court. Somehow with a good solicitor i think the employer will have the upper hand as no doubt would eventually settle out of court and the case would then be dismissed.
