employers not paying or answering calls

Hiya (new to this)

I just want abit of advice really, I am a few days late getting paid and my employer is not answering any of my calls/texts/emails regarding this. i am owed a months work and I am really worried that this company wont pay be as other employees have had the same problem.

I have been to citizens advice who basically said they are breaking the law by not paying me and gave me a employment advice number who told me to write a greivance lettern and wait 14 days which i have done (but have not waited)

does anyone know of a quicker way to get them to pay me as i really need to pay my rent and will be kicked out otherwise. totally annoyed with the company and I am prepared to take them to court in the long run but really, i would much rather settle it out of court as its abit longwinded.

thanks in advance - to anyone who has a good idea!

    Call round there and refuse to move until they pay you

    You are employed or freelance? Surely if you work for a firm you just go and ask where is my pay?

    i would love to do that but i have no clue to where the head office is or if they even have one. all i have are the managers email addresses or telephone numbers - no one answers texts or calls or emails - i have tried googling them and nothing

    good idea though

    You say my employer, then you say you have a contract, then you say I was employed.

    Please clarify
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

    so you are waiting on the last payment from them? the money you are owed?
    Did you walk out or give notice? How long had you been there?

    When is the payroll run? If you have just walked out they are not going to run the payroll just for you.

    Write to them!

    i understand that but the payroll is done on different dates for different people so the date you started on is the date you get paid. also done by a bank transfer. i gave them the contracted notice period of leaving.

    I think i will carry on digging the internet for some sort trading address so that i can do as replys 1&2 suggested and just wait. was only asking as i need a sort of quick fix and im scared the company will go bust before i can get my money

    I do not understand what the problem is if you only left one week ago?

    They haven't paid you? When is your usual pay date?

    Try looking through any paperwork you have for them and see if there is a company registration. you can then get the main address from companies house
