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

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.

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,
