Job pay is wrong?

Jack_bauer24

Hi, I need some advice. 

I worked 3 days last week through an agency that is weekly pay, I have just got my payslip online as I get paid this Friday, however I think they paid me wrong, just need advice if they have done it right and it's £9 an hour this job that I did. 

I worked:

Wednesday - 8.45am - 4pm 

Thursday - 8am - 4pm 

Friday - 8am - 3.30pm 

Now, I have just got my payslip and it states I worked 15 hours and I got £135.00 for them 3 days, is this correct or wrong? I worked more then 15 hours, and I should get more.

Any advice would be great, as I need to know before I contact agency about this, thanks.

What lunch break did you take?  And are there any dates on the payslip?  Just wondering if they don't pay Mon-Sun but some other pattern and it doesn't yet include Friday's pay?

Just half hour lunch. No, they is no other dates on the payslip.

Is £135 before or after tax, NI etc?

I don't pay any tax and NI - it states on both nothing.

On the basis you completed a timesheet. The hours you've been paid for are plainly incorrect. This is the point you need to raise.

If the start and end times were signed off by the client and the half-hour lunch break is the official amount of time allowed and the timesheet reflected that, then those hours obviously total more than 15 (21.25 hours actually).  

The £135 is clearly 15 hours @ £9 so the discrepancy is about the number of hours worked that week.

Your basic pay should have been 21.25 x 9 = £191.25 gross.

I don't see how they could have reached 15 hours as the amount of time involved: no 2 days would total that.

Update: The agency phoned me this morning and it's sorted - Friday's hours have been missed out, so I will get Friday's pay on Monday.

But

Wednesday - 8.45am - 4pm   less half-hour lunch = 6.75 hours
Thursday - 8am - 4pm            less half-hour lunch = 7.5 hours

So total of 14.25 hours.
Why then did they pay 15 hours? 
(That's paying you the equivalent of 7.5 hours per day.)

Friday - 8am - 3.30pm  less half-hour lunch = 7 hours
Will they be paying you for 7.5 hours?

Are you actually due to work 7.5 hours a day and they haven't noticed you didn't?
