Work related stress - industrial injury?

LFC1981

Hi

Looking for some advice.

For last 8 months been having incorrect wages at work

1, authorized absence for hospital appointment not been paid even tho all the others before had been.
2, On 3 occasions iv not been paid enough overtime
3, On 3 time arrears from the impervious months mistake have not been paid in next months wages.
4, For two months running after a contract change my basic pay had changed to the new increased amount but my shift allowance was still at the old amount.
5. Sick pay was not paid even tho paperwork was completed when I get back to work.
6. Shift allowance not paid on my overtime
7, When I was off sick for 2 days, they marked my wage slip down for 3 days sick.
8, Holiday not paid

A written compliant was handed it to the store manager after the 6th month, but it was not handle in the correct company policy - I feel they tried brushing it under the carpet a bit.

After 7th month, I had a letter of work admitting there mistake's an agreed to pay my shift allowance for 2 days sick when I was off sick with a migraine due to the stress of it all.

8th Month, wages was wrong again. Due to the stress of it all the GP has signed me off work this is my 3rd week off & iv still got next week off as well. Also been given some pills to help me sleep as the stress been keeping me awake.

Even tho im not officially in the union, iv had the union rep helping me & he has put a 2nd compliant in. At first he was all for taking the issue out of store completely but now I think he has had a change of heart.

Iv agreed to attend a meeting on Monday out of store but with one of the duty managers from my store.

Now im just looking for advice on what my rights are, as they already admitted there mistakes, I should still get my shift allowance as long as the doctor sign's me off with stress from work?

While the mistakes have happened iv occurred bank changes as iv struggled financially & not had money for my direct debits.

Iv currently lost all faith in my store to sort this, I am well with in my rites to find a method of taking this out of store?

would you class this as industrial injury? Would I be entitled to compensation?

Any advice or guidance would be grateful please

Many thanks

Grow up, mistakes happen and incompetance with a payroll dept does not cause industrial injury.

Your reaction does seem over the top for the events you have described. Do you have an underlying mental health condition that might cause you to get things out of proportion?

How long have you worked there? Do you wish to continue working there?

Also if you weren't with the union at the start, pray tell, why aren't you with them now?

Its not an industrial injury, as you have not suffered what is classed as an injury at work.

If you cannot handle the stress, see your GP, or your occupational therapist if your company has one. I think you need some help with dealing with change, and with regulation of stress levels; maybe also some on managing your emotions.

So everyone thinks im over reacting!!

Please explain how im meant to react then, when im the im only one getting these problems every month, an that has been told to me by my shift manager ......So sorry to think that if im the only one having the problems that is feels like they have something against me & stressing me out......See I can accept human errors an hope it gets sorted & thats why I left it 6 months before taking it to the store manager.....How long would you leave it? or is it a case of shutting up & letting people withhold money that you have earnt?

An when they are letting arrears build up at times with out sorting the issues out. An twice peaked at above £150+ . I dont think many people would just want to keep taking there word. We will sort it out and be left hanging & not knowing if its going to be sorted when numerous months before they keep messing there money around.

An as for the union, the rep had forgot to bring me a form in to work to fill so he took my details of me about 6 weeks ago & said he would get me signed up but iv not had any confirmation about it since.

Iv worked there for 2 & half years.....An yes I was happy working there before all this started & still ok after 4/5 months but when the arrears start building up & means I cant pay my bills....Then it started stressing me out.

An im happy to work there if im not going to keep having my wages messed around....Personally 8 months in a row is long enough to put up with it all.

Calm down.

No one has suggested that you have not had problems with payroll, but going off sick is not going to change that, and does seem to be an overreaction.

Which payroll issues are still outstanding?

unless you can prove that they are doing these things maliciously (highly unlikely) then yes you are over reacting and if this makes you sick then you have underlying issues you need to sort out.

theoretica

I think it is perfectly reasonable for you to ask your employers to pay any bank charges which were incurred solely because of their mistakes.

Stress eh, its the new bad back. In the eighties there seemed to be a rush of people going on the sick with bad backs, now its stress they are trying.

I would be more concerned with my sickness record if I were you.
The wages department probably cant keep up with your absences.
