    There are several things that do not make a lot of sense here, most obviously that a reduction of 8 days pay (aprox half the month) should leave only a net of £361. Might be some error here or some other factor affecting the pay.

    Full details are really needed here, to start with I suggest from the payslip and the two payslips before....
    Taxable gross, tax paid, NI paid, tax code/basis, taxable pay to date and tax paid to date.
    Then details of normal salary and how this is calculated.
    Exact details of time off.
    Was any SSP paid and if so details, if not why.
    If previous payslips differ from normal salary what caused the difference.

    I now have my payslip and salary £1590.43 with a adjustment of minus £1206.08 and pension at £23.06.It would seem that someone told them (wrongly) that i was going to quit or something so they have recovered the 8 days and also taken what would of been my next 4 shifts(we work 3 weeks in arrears and 1 week in advance).I was looking at a 6K pay rise after training and until they made that huge deduction i was happy with my job and looking forward to that juicy pay rise.Either way the money is gone as is the job it would seem,so feel free to close the thread(CAB were very thorough but unable to help) Thanks for the help especially the one poster who hit the nail right on the head!

    You realise thought that this is because you didn't wait, literally a few days.


    Learn to be patient.

    for the explanation:
    It would seem that someone told them (wrongly) that i was going to quit or something so they have recovered the 8 days and also taken what would of been my next 4 shifts(we work 3 weeks in arrears and 1 week in advance).


    Which you would ofcourse say I'm not quitting, please pay me.

    I'm confused. Didn't you say here that you were quitting? Everyone seems to think so. So if you said the same thing in anger, as you did here, why is it unreasonable for them to take you at your word? Did you even try to explain to them?

    So they didn't "make a deduction" - most of it is not paying you for shifts you haven't worked and they appear to have reasonably believed that you wouldn't.

    And "the one person who hit the nail on the head" actually hit a feather, not a nail! Agreeing with you - and not only were you wrong, but you were even wrong about what they had done - is not the same thing as giving you good advice.

    So you are walking away from what you say was a good job because you jumped the gun, made mistakes, and didn't engage with people in an appropriate way? That seems less than sensible when a bit of honey and an apology for your mistake could possibly still save you?

    In the first post you very clearly said 'now I need to find a weekly paying job.' and 'if i find a job by this week I'll be fine' implying that the old job wasnt an option anymore...

    There's an old phrase, cutting off your nose to spite your face.

    You took time off and were not paid for it, so you've quit a decently paid job with a £6k payrise around the corner for, nothing?
