I think you'd have a really good legal case here.

I worked for the partnership for 25 years and what I can tell you is that they think they are a law unto themselvs.
I used to think they are like a cult.

Take them to court for breach of contract.

Probably worth trying to get a few people together who are in the same boat and pay to have a specialist lawyer look at it for you.

I have, this morning received the standard email response as above. I worked every sunday and bank holiday between 2003 and 2010 at double pay and, of course, only ever received single pay for holidays. If anyone would like to form a "coalition of the willing" on this, I can probably get together another 8 or so ex employees in the same boat and we can have this looked at properly. They know they are on a sticky wicket here as the case is pretty clear cut and one decent legal challenge should make them fold.

I received the same email this morning. I worked Sundays for 2 years as a weekend Partner and worked a lot of bank holidays. I really can't understand why they're treating ex Partners this way. All we want is the money back they potentially owe us.

I was at Waitrose between 2005 and 2011. I did callout hours overnights, weekends and bank holidays.

I'd be interested in joining a group to pursue this.

You need to take it to an employment tribunal within twelve weeks of John Lewis making there announcement of there under payment. My wife is in a similar boat she thinks she should be paid for the years she worked previous to 2006. The law they broke goes back to 1998.

I worked Thur evening and Sat, Sun and sometimes bank holidays. I also got the same standard reply as others.

To be honest it's very difficult to look at old pay slips and start calculating etc to understand if you were paid correctly or not ..

Any suggestions?
