  1. Well the news isn't great so far. I've been "let go" due to financial difficulties in the company. Thing is though that they are advertising for more staff for another store.
  2. Excellent. Thank you very much for your help with this. It is very much appreciated!
  3. Just giving this a bit of a bump as I want to get the letter away tomorrow. Can someone take a look at the draft I did a few posts up please? Thanks
  4. My contract stated my employment was of a part-time casual nature. I was guaranteed a minimum of 24 hours over the phone though by the MD. So I imagine them sending me home was fine as I'm legally classed as casual. To be honest I just want my pay for the hours worked and I'll move on.
  5. Hiya, yes I signed my contract last week. Unfortunately the manager took the whole contract and employment handbook with him so I have nothing to refer to.
  6. I was thinking of of something along the lines of: Dear [managing director] I received my pay slip on Wednesday 1st December 2010 it shows that I am due to be paid the sum of [amount]. To date this money has not been credited to my nominated bank account. As you are aware, it is against the law for you to withhold my wages without my written consent. With this in mind I am giving you formal notice that unless I receive the above sum in my bank account within 7 working days (15th December 2010) I will commence legal proceedings. This may include a claim to an employment tribunal for unlawfully withholding wages which is contrary to Section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, or proceedings in a local court for breach of contract. I look forward to receiving your favourable reply by return. Yours faithfully, xxxxxxx
  7. Hi all, I have been working for a company for 6 weeks now. I'm on a 6 month probation period. I am employed as a Sales Assistant and paid at an hourly rate for all hours worked, it's minimum wage. The company has opened 3 new shops in 2 months and I thought was doing well, but all the shops received an email saying that as the new shops were opened there was a shortage of money and if we didn't push sales, we were not getting paid. Long story short, pay day was the end of last month and I still haven't seen a penny of my wages. The manager is trying to bully staff by saying if you want paid, you better sell harder etc. I'm on an hourly rate and should be paid no matter what my sales figures are... The also sent me home early last week as the shops were so quiet, so my pay is cut with that too. The MD is driving about in a big range rover, living in a big detached house and walking about with his 2 iPhones stuck to his ear. I have since found out that my supervisor and manager, who are personal friends of the MD have been paid. So thats the story so far! I'm looking now for help with drafting a letter to demand my wages before I decide to go to an employment tribunal. I'm in NI if that makes a difference. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to set the letter out please, and any other advice would be much appreciated. In the meantime I'm going to be going on sick leave as I can't afford diesel to drive to work, and am in pain from a form of arthrittis that I have in my lower back. I was unemployed for over 2 years, and getting a job was a godsend to me. Now I have signed off JSA and not been paid I'm so much worse off and no bills are being paid. Thanks in advance...
  8. Hiya rapterman, I'd say you are safe to ignore the creditor and just wait it out till the OR does his stuff, it's not like the creditor can take you to court or threaten you anymore! If you really want to, you could ring the insolvency service in Fermanagh House and ask their advice.
  9. That is fast! Faster than mine anyway lol. I'd imagine the downloaded copies should be fine. There will be a number on your paperwork which should be a direct line to the person dealing with your case. Give them a ring and double check if you like. If the person is anything like the bloke dealing with mine, you'll find he is very helpful and decent!
  10. I handed mine in at some office upstairs. I didn't have to pay the court fee as I'm unemployed. They just took the 1 copy of each form I had and said they'd ring me with a date. Got the call about 4 days before the hearing!
  11. Good luck rapterman. I had the same bother trying to find the right office! You will find the master very pleasant, talking to her was just like chatting to the security person at the front door! Let us know how you get on.
  12. To be honest, a solicitor would likely be cheaper for your affidavit. No need to make an appointment, just go to the court and take your forms and receipt from fermanagh house.
  13. In NI the only court that deals with BR is the High Court, and they charge £30.00. I rang them to check when I was doing my forms.
  14. Hiya rapterman, the Northern Bank over here will open an account for you after your bankruptcy is declared. I just got an account with them, you get a Maestro card with the personal access account.
