Hi and thanks for replying. I have worked for them for over ten years, my doctor has already supplied them with a letter saying that he has issued continuous sick notes for a valid medical reason. after they were in receipt of the letter I asked my employers when they were going to pay my outstanding salary and they said well you tell us how much you think we owe you and we will consider it. I have already consulted a solicitor and when I told him what they had said he said that how could I be expected to work out my salary when they are the ones dealing with the pay role.

Hi, I have just gone through a disciplinary hearing and the decision was to sack me for gross misconduct so I understand how you must be feeling. I have appealed against the decision and and currently waiting a reply. I was signed off work for severe stress and anxiety (due mainly to bullying) and was off work for six months. against doctors orders I returned to work, I lasted 5 mins in the office as I was suspended on the spot pending a disciplinary hearing. They say that I failed to provide sick notes and failed to notify them of my change of address (as I moved whilst off) so was in breach of contract. I submitted a sick note every month and also provided a letter from my GP saying that he had issued notes. I did notify them of my change of address and had received correspondence from other departments within the firm at my new address. One thing I would like to know is if anyone can help me with the following:- As they said they didn't receive any sick notes they stopped paying me and I did not even receive SSP. they owe me six months wages and even though they are in receipt of the letter from my doctor, they are still refusing to pay me. I cannot claim any benefits and have been living off my savings, which have now run out, and I am struggling to be able to put food on the table for my son.
