Yep its the first time ive ever worked where i had to work 2 months before i got paid, its not an actual deduction though as i will be paid it eventually(hopefully)

Thre are no time sheets but hours can be proved easily as i needed to sign in at the different depots, then sign out, so i got into work for example at 5 am to drive work van to Daventry for 8am, finnished at Daventry 4pm drive back to work get there at 7pm, 15hour day for £44. i know ive only worked at the depot at Daventry for 8 hours, these depots are the company i worked fors customers so i believe the travel time of 6 hours should be included in time worked as im driving the works van and my permenent place of work is a 5 minute walk from where i live. Great answers, im not really the sueing type but i really want to teach this guy a lesson, i feel totally taken the p out off.

Hi, my names matt and will appologise in advance, this is my first post and asking for information already. Will just give some background information then a couple of questions. At the end of november 2011 i secured employment through a local small private company as a load engineer, this job involved traveling all round the uk testing lifting equipment and was taken on on the basis of a 6 months trial, it was a saleried position of 15,000k a year and it was stated would involve some weekend work and also staying away from home from time to time in hotels. To start of my boss was great but after i came back from my christmas holiday he changed, it felt like he wanted me to leave, kept having a go at me for no real reason, picking faults etc..etc.. i wont pretend im perfect and faultless, im not, but im a very long way from being incompetent and felt personally i was progressing well due to the specialised nature of the job. Alarm bells started ringing when a couple of managers i visited as a sub contractor told me my boss has got through 4 employees in just over a year. I was also working very long hours, very rarely working less than 10 hours a day, sometimes 16 hours, but on average about 12 hours a day. I also only had 2 saturdays off in 3 months so was working 60-70 hour weeks most weeks still for only 15,000 PA wich i worked out was £3.20 PH much less than minimum wage but because im salery im not entitled to minimum wage? correct? The inevitable happened last friday, i was driving the work van with my boss as passenger and he started having a go about my driving and told me to go back to the work office, he sacked me on the spot, i was stunned and half expected him to ring me an hour later asking for me to come back, but nothing. Ive got a contract of employement and all wages go through the books, what im worried about is i worked a month in hand i:e started end of november, didnt get my first pay until end of january so am still owed a full months wage, where do i stand on this?, alos im feeling a little ripped of due to the hours= money i was paid, and also can he actually treat me like this? i was going to go to citizens advice but the que was massive. Thanks for taking the time to read this post, all the best, Matt.
