I attended a smoking cessation clinic last night and hope to be going on Zyban. I tried Champix but after 3 days i was totally parnoid and very aggressive (totally out of nature for me) on top of that i was feeling suicidal and having very vivid dreams. I am hoping Zyban does the trick. I am currently smoking + per day

OK, have a look at the paperwork because it's likely that there will be an indication of what is to be decided at the pre-hearing review. I will certainly go over the paperwork when i recieve it. Did it usually state holiday pay on your payslips? What about the rest of your holidays? How many days per week did you work? No, It never did state "holiday pay". I worked a 5 day week entiling me to 28 days i believe. Bank holidays are included in the 28 allowed days. So, they sent you a payslip but not the money? How many days of unpaid wages do they owe you? Holiday money, 1 weeks pay in lieu for working a week in hand some 6 years ago plus 6 weeks for not letting me work my notice. (a week for every year as stated on the direct.gov website). Thanks for you contribution and time mariefab.

Hello mariefab I believe the hearing to be a pre- hearing (i'll have to check that out as only just got paperwork back from ex-solicitor) I have not had a copy of anything that states my ex-employers agree or don't agree. Holiday is a shut down period for all in the first 2 weeks of August. Payment is usually made weekly within those weeks. I assume that holiday is calculated Dec-Nov (which co-insides with thier financial year. Nothing was paid to me when i left on the 13th May but I got a payslip recieved early June, dated 31 May. (8 days is what the payslip calculates too). But no pay recieved to date. Thanks for your interest

My solicitor pulled out because she thought i had a less than 51% chance of winning a claim for CD (after saying i had a better than average chance). Nothing had been resolved when employed or after leaving. So now i will bew representing myself. All i ever wanted was the monies owed to me. It had never entered my mind to claim for CD until i contacted ACAS and my solicitor mentioned it. And yes mariefab, i did tick the boxes. Thanks Honeybee & mariefab, your coments are appreciated. PS: It would be interesting to hear from other members that have represented themselves at ET

Hello Honeybee13 Thanks for your responce and advice. My ex solicitor has written a LBA but to no avail. I am claiming constuctive dismissal over bullying. My position in sales prompted them to send me home... i'm guessing as they did'nt say why. I am not at work yet but my ex-employer seems to think i am and have been since the day i left. Rumours had been floating around that I am working but they are toally un-founded. Thanks again Honeybee13

Hello, this is my first post so please be patient with me. Back in April this year, I was on the receiving end of verbal abuse by a colleague. I document all 3 incidents and complained to the MD who witnessed 2 of the 3 incidents. The MD said he'd have a word each time. That did not stop the abuse and so I told the MD that it was getting me down and if nothing was done, I’d have to leave. Nothing was done so rather than just leave I enquired about a new position within the trade. However, I did not get anywhere with new employment. Finally I gave "due notice" in writing at the close of business on a Wednesday. I went to work the following day and was told I should go now. I went to C.A.B and called ACAS who both said I had a claim for constructive dismissal and so I went to a solicitor who took my case. Ten weeks later I still have not been paid holiday pay/wages etc; on top of that I received a letter from my solicitors saying they can no longer take my instruction. My ex employer is saying I was feathering my nest with a view to take their clients to my new employer and therefore, I am in breach of implied contract (these accusations are false). The matter is going before ELT in the not too distant future and my solicitor has now said it's a 50/50 decision on how that will go. I have now found employment in the same field but, only if my potential new employer is not going to be involved in a law suit in the foreseeable future. All I ever wanted was the monies I was owed but it’s out of hand because I was presumably ill advice in the first place. Does anyone have any experience in this and perhaps let me know what to expect?............thanks in advance Jcw1952 PS: I did not have a written contract.
