Old job issues!!!!

[j.barton1]

Hi All......

 

I worked for Jacksons stores....which recently became sainsburys convenience for 9 yrs...leaving last may, whilst i worked there, i worked a minimum of 40 hours but the computer system in place only paid for 39. I and other full time staff brought this up numerous times and it was aggreed that we would start or leave an hour later/earlier each week to make up for the hour we were short. this never happened.

I wrote them a letter and received a response from their HR asking me to phone to arrange a meeting, i called and informed him that i wouldnt meet without legal advise so he said he wold speak to his boss and get back to me.....he eventually called me back and basically told me to prove it!!! I did tell him i have wageslips and they will have the computerised records too surely???

Has anyone got any advise on what i can do, i have contacted an employment law solicitor but i dont think i'll get a reply till next week, not that i am in a rush but i'm not sure where i stand or if i have a case??

Any advise will be gratefully received!!!!

Write to them with your evidence, photocopy your payslips, don't post the originals

Thanks. i'll find them and copy them

Further to what old andrew has posted, the letter should be written under Stage 1 of the company grievance procedure. This way you will have the right of appeal if the outcome is not satisfactory.

Thanks to u both, i have written this to send....

 

To whom it may concern,

I am writing regarding the previous letter I sent dated 24.07.08 (copy enclosed).

Upon speaking with your HR area representative, xxxx, he asked me to provide proof of my alleged grievance, this proof he asked for should be kept by yourselves. As required by law you should have maintained all my wage/salary details for the past 6 years, it is also recommended that you keep all minutes of staff and management meetings for the same period of time.

I would request you forward copies of the data to xxxxx and would like you to forward me copies also.

This data should be sufficient proof that I was not paid for my worked hours, should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call me on xx or e-mail xx

I ask for this data to be received within 28 days , I see this as sufficient time for the data to be sought.

I would also like to inform you that this letter is to be treated as a stage 1 grievance letter.

Kind regards

xx
