Dismissed

xapprenticex

Clearly the boss didnt like being forced to act by the little people. Prob paid you with the intention of using you to win the contact then sack you.

TBH if i made the threat you made, I would be expecting to get sacked or stabbed in the back at least, not that you did wrong or anything of the sort.

I was merely pointing out the difference between the civil and criminal law, which you clearly don't understand. Although lots of the general public say "illegal" too, when it's not criminal either, merely a civil breach.


You stated "...but not against the law" (implying that the breach of statutory right is).


Guest101was correct in what they said and yet you sought to correct them. But clearly we've both misunderstood the point you were trying to make.


As the OP is owed wages (re notice & and probably accrued holiday pay), issuing in the County Court would be the cheapest and swiftest remedy.


Although its refreshing to read that you would chance a Tribunal here, 'because that's just you.' This Damascus conversion is most welcome indeed, even if it is slightly at odds with all of your previous posts, where even OP's with decent prospects of success are told all is woe and the employer will win, so not to bother.

You appear to have an issue with me since, every now and then, you insist on the most patronising and intentionally insulting of posts whet I am concerned. I don't know what your problem is, but it is your problem. For your information, I know exactly what the difference between illegal and unlawful is and do not need you to patronize me. I also know ALL of the potential unfair dismissal claims that can be made before one gets two years service. Which you clearly did not, or failed to bother to mention, even though one of them was certainly applicable to the situation.

I am aware that you claim to be a lawyer, but anyone can claim anything; and there is no conversion about suggesting a tribunal is potentially possible. If you spent more time on this board instead of just dropping in to give us the benefit of your wisdom every now and then, you would know that.

Now if you have a useful opinion about the OPs situation, perhaps we could get the thread back on track instead of you indulging in your personal vendettas?

I thought you were both flirting...

Personally, I don't think the Op would get very far claiming that he was dismissed for asserting the statutory right to receive a payslip. It seems clear from the initial post that the reason for the dismissal was complaining about not getting paid on time, not the fact that the Op didn't receive a payslip.

In this situation, it is probably best just to make sure any notice pay due is paid, and then call it a day.

A few years ago you would issue a claim for notice pay in the employment tribunal and add-on a claim for failure to provide terms and conditions (the law says you can only claim for this if you are also successful in bringing another claim). These days, it is not usually worth playing games doing things like that because of the very hefty Employment Tribunal fees.

It may or may not be worth considering an action on that basis, but it is probably worth threatening one and see if it shakes anything lose in terms of compensation. Nothing ventured...

it may not be the OPs wish to chance their arm at a tribunal, but I'd certainly chance it in a threatening letter! Personally, I'd probably chance it further because that's just me! ...

Safetyguy78, If you fall into arrears by being paid late, the employer is liable for all the fines and extra fees you incur.

I have to say many years ago I worked for an IT company in Kenton for 8 years. When resigning they never paid any one out their full expense amount. At the time parking meters issued no recipes and we did not use mobiles, just phone boxes. My 5 month expense bill worth £1300 became £600 on leaving, equivalent today to over £1000. Yes i should have put them in more regular.

I moved to a large company that needed IT purchases and literally buys many millions of £ worth of goods and maintenance per year. I could have easily recommended my old company. Instead they saved on £600+, but lost £20-30 million (possibly much more) revenue. Today the old company is still small, no longer in Kenton and has has been taken over by the owners son.

Consider yourself luck to get away. I do, and now keep 6 months cash savings as a backup.

Good one man :money:

I am also trying to save up some savings for a rainy day, about 1 years worth to cover frugal living. I'm getting old, didnt used to think about things like this.
