Been paid nothing on my last payslip

JennyInTokyo

I finished my job on 5th August and I was owed pay from 22nd July until that day. However I have recieved nothing! I've rang the payroll office to ask why I haven't been paid anything and they said what I was owed was paid in my last payslip. However there is no record in my payslips to prove this. They have also stated they have taken a weeks worth of pay back because I've taken a week more of holidays than I am entitled to. However from April I have only taken three weeks off and I am also owed holiday pay from two weeks I had booked for holidays later in the year but id been dismissed before them. Is this right? I'm just upset that I haven't been paid anything because I needed this money for rent.

Why would you be paid for holidays booked after you've been dismissed?


Assuming you are april til april and get 5.6 weeks. you are roughly entitled to 1.9 weeks annual leave (including bank holidays) from April until august - so yes they can deduct 1 weeks pay owed.


It sounds like you were owed 10 days pay, 5 deducted. So owed 5 days pay.

You wouldn't have been owed the holiday for the later part of the year as you hadn't worked long enough to get that amount of holiday entitlement

For example I get 28 days for Jan-Jan this works out at just over 2 days earned a month if I left before the end of the year they would work out my entitlement for the months worked. So if I left the end of this month I will have earned 16 days holiday roughly if I had taken more than that when I left I would have it taken back from the money owed for the time I had worked that month

Sounds like this is what has happened with you that you took too much holiday before you left and went over your entitlement for the time you worked

Hope that makes sense?

Thanks for the reply. I'd been working for them for 10 months so if that's how holidays work then I guess they have the right to take back from holidays I've taken.

However I haven't been paid for my last week of employment at all. Which frustrates me because I've looked at my payslips and it hasn't been paid. They claimed it had been placed in my last payslip from July? Why do that if I wasn't formally sacked until two weeks later?

You might have been working for ten months, but when the holiday periods run from is the key thing.
But of course you don't get paid all your holidays if you don't work there for the whole year.


Well you need to work out if you were paid more in July. They might've done it to save time later. As long as you've been paid correctly that all that matters

I'm afraid this is one that only the employer can answer. Write to then asking for a written explanation of why you have no pay for the last two weeks. It may be that the payroll period is not what you thin, and the pay on 22nd is for the whole month, so a week in advance is paid. That would mean that the overtaken holiday cancels out the amount owed. But only the employer can explain this

They haven't paid me any extra in July. I finished my job on 29th July but then was meant to be paid a week in hand so I officially left 5th August. I haven't been paid my week in hand.

If it was just a weeks money missing then I would say your extra holiday has probably wiped that out but best to email your work and check with them

But if you are paid monthly and the pay is for the whole month, then you have been paid. You really need to ask them though. We can't tell you what your employer has done.
