employer refused to pay me for the job which i did for them

[Usmanshafi02]

i did couple of jobs as event steward with a company in summer 2011 and i got the pay for my first job after been waiting and struggling for more than 6 months. last week when i called them to ask the pay for my second job which i also did in summer 2011 the refused to pay me straight away and told me that i have not attended that job or might be i forget to sign in and sign out but the reality is i did that job and also did sign the attendance sheets moreover this is what mentioned on my online portal that i have attended that job, so when i told them that i have done that job and this is also mentioned on the portal about my attendence the manager replied that they might be wrongly mentioned on my portal about the attendance. i have called them more than 20 times for the same thing in last 6 months but vain,

 

so is there anybody who can help me in this matter that what am supposed to do further to get my pay i am obviously deserving for.

 

* i have also saved my portal web page in my pc so might be i can use it as evidence

Hi and Welcome

 

Sadly you would be out of time to take action through an Employment Tribunal, so would have to look at action in the County Court for a breach of contract. Depending on the proof that an obligation existed to pay you an amount in return for completing a particular task, and if that task was completed successfully, then you need to look at sending a Letter Before Action, outlining the amount which you are due, and giving seven days to respond. If they don't pay or communicate with you to dispute their liability, then issue proceedings in the County Court through MCOL.

 

Thread moved to the Employment forum.

Why on earth have you left it so long before chasing for your pay?

Hello there.

 

CAG is designed to be a self-help website, so you may not find someone willing to write a letter for you.

 

Why don't you have a go yourself and post it up on your thread so people can give you constructive comments? You don't need to say a lot, just what Sidewinder says really. Why they owe you money and how much, etc.

 

My best, HB

Obviously you will have to edit to suit, but it should be along the lines of:-

 

 

Dear Sir,

 

On [DATE] I was employed/contracted* to undertake duties on your behalf at [EVENTS] and would be paid accordingly.

 

I completed two jobs as required but have still to receive payment for the second of those events, and consequently I am still owed the sum of [AMOUNT] despite having reminded you of this on numerous occasions.

 

Please note that should this amount not be paid to me within seven days of receipt of this letter, then I will issue proceedings in the County Court for a breach of contract. This will involve additional costs and interest due on the amount owing, and it is therefore in your interests to give this matter your most urgent attention.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

Send it Recorded Delivery so that you will know when to start the seven day clock!

Do you have any proof you actually worked the shift? You'll need that to claim in the courts.
