Employer Underpaying Me

jackcwilson

Hi,

My employers have given me a pay increase. To confirm it, they have given me a confirmation with my old wage and new wage stating the reason is a pay increase and the HR Administrator has signed it. I have just been told me payslip to come will not contain my pay rise and they never will.

They are denying my pay rise but I have a signed document confirming it? How can I take this further? I am due to get a mortgage soon and the mortgage company are waiting for my latest payslip - if this does not contain my new wage then I won't be able to get my mortgage.

Please someone help me.

Thanks,

stator

Who told you you're not getting your pay rise?
Have you spoken to HR?

Who told you.

Do you mean you wont get the increase, did they tell you why...

My area manager said they changed my wage to help me get my mortgage and now they're saying they had no intention of actually increasing it, just given me a signed letter saying they did. Surely this letter, signed by HR, has some authority attached to it?

McKneff

Was rhere a discussion before your wage rise. Presumably you tol them you were applyong for a mortgage.

Can we have all the details, sorry but its like pulling teeth...

McKneff

In actual fact, they are helping you to commit fraud...

How did the conversation leading up to your pay rise go, were you aware they were doing you a favour in declaring an inflated salary?

Are you aware that declaring an inflated salary to a lender is actually fraud?

Thanks for the reply ACG.

I am relocating from London to Leicester. I need to apply for my mortgage now to be able to reserve the house I want. I will move into my new house in Sep and will be working in Leicester by then. As I have to apply for the mortgage now and I haven't secured a job in Leicester, the mortgage adviser has to say I am 'commuting' to my London job from Leicester. The lender I am currently going with is the only lender that does not take into account commuting cost - this is why I cannot go to another one. I have spoken to my mortgage adviser as he said if I can get more income via a second job, this will count towards the joint income.

So you're already telling lies to the lender.

I took my job on a verbal confirmation of salary and then told this salary to the mortgage provider. When I received my contract, I read it and noticed it was less than I was told. I said this to my manager and said I am currently going through a mortgage application and need the salary they originally stated. My manager said she would get this increased. I then received a letter of confirmation from HR confirming my pay increase. I spoke to my area manager today to make sure it would appear on my payslip (as this is what the mortgage people are waiting for) and she said to me they only made the letter as a fake for the mortgage people and my pay will not be going up.

Now I am worried as you have informed me this could be fraud but I have never lied, only been lied to. Surely my employers are the ones committing fraud? Does having a signed letter confirming my pay increase from HR not mean anything?

Thanks

Go straight to HR and ask them what your salary is and what you will be paid per month.
Your manager could be talking !!!!!!!!, they usually do.

If they really are faking payslips, I wouldn't want to work for them at all

Sounds as if the employer thought they were doing you a favour by providing the letter whilst you thought you were getting an increase in salary.


Mind you it seems a daft idea to tie yourself to a mortgage in an area where you haven't even got a job yet.....what's the cunning plan if you don't get one?
