  1. Yes but it's a general market, and would be difficult not to encroach on their contact list. Thanks for your help.
  2. Hi guys and girls, Hoping for a little advice here. I resigned a few weeks ago from my previous employer, for a multitude of reasons. One reason was that I saw the contract contained some fairly hefty restrictive covenants (ie, no compete for 3months), and I had wanted to set up my own business for some time. So I made the decision to resign before signing the dotted line. I only worked for this employer for 6-7 weeks. I have since been setting up a small business, in the same field, working as a sole trader. Today, I was emailed by my ex-MD, stating I was in breech of my contract and he was contacting his solicitors. Where do I stand here? The issue I face is that I was emailed my contract a week / 10days before resigning. ACAS seem to think that because I worked for a week, after seeing my contract (albeit not signing it / discussing it with the manager) that I am held by their terms. This seems ridiculous to me. Are you telling me that after seeing a contract, you have to make an instant decision to resign, if you don't want to be held by their terms? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Tweeds
  3. Sorry my post wasn't very clear - I was only there for 7 weeks. I've nothing in writing from the employer, other than my offer of employment letter, and my email correspondence with my boss since leaving. Yes, I have been in contact, we've exchanged a few emails - but he's no longer replying... Thanks
  4. Hello all, I resigned two weeks ago (amicably, in good fashion and with my employer not wanting me to work out any notice). I'm owed around 2500-3000 pounds for around 7 weeks work - I should have been paid the day before I resigned - however, I wasn't. During my resignation interview, my boss said my payslip was on its way and I'd be paid in a few days - all good I thought, shook hands and I left happy. However, alarm bells started ringing late last week, when I began chasing up my wages - my employer stated he was going to pay me by cheque (should have been BACS usually) and that it was being sent out that day. This cheque never arrived, and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to communicate with my ex-boss, either via phone or email - I think all my calls are being vetted. I'm beginning to worry a little now, I hadn't been at the company long - and it was a small company, so I was yet to sign any formal contract of employment. What would you recommend I do in my situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
