Being Paid Under National Minimum Wage?

[Wolfieblob]

Ok so I started working for Angard on the 27th April, and my first two payslips are showing that I am being paid under minimum wage and under the hourly rate that they told me I would receive.

I am 22 and should be earning £8.20 an hour yet they are paying me only £7.70? Has anyone else noticed this?

Also, I have screenshots of everything and emailed them about this, if they don't do anything I will be going to ACAS because this is disgusting especially with CV19 raging.
Please go through your timesheets and double-check that they're paying you the right amount because this is illegal!

So.......you started working for Angard less than 2 weeks ago and already you are ranting and raving about something relatively minor, and fixable and threatening to take them to an Employment Tribunal?

If you carry on like that during your time with the agency you will soon have a heart attack or spend more time in ETs than actually working.

It's time to get real.

Yes, the pay rate is incorrect.

In case you haven't noticed, the country is experiencing a pandemic with many restrictions on work and travel.

90% of Angard staff are working from home.

Some of Angard's computer systems can only be accessed on site and need dual authorisations to make changes. I imagine altering pay rates is probably one of them or, otherwise, all these staff might be tempted to alter rates in their favour and then out them back to the original after they had been paid.

A simple polite email drawing their attention to the problem would hve been sufficient. They will probably adjust the payments retrospectively when the current situation returns to something resembling 'normality'.

Try being polite and patient. ANgard do not respond to abuse and threats. Having worked for them for 3 1/4 years, I shold know.

Enjoy your time with ANgard. I have the feeling that it may be a short oine.

Problems with pay rates can only be sorted by Angard payroll - who are contactable between wed-fri
Angard payroll isn't quick on responding so you may have to be patient - I'd ring them up to see what the problem is.
Might be they took too big a break deduction from your shift.

Working for any agency isn't the best but the money is ok once you get past the 12 weeks AWR period.
COVID compliance is a problem but it is all over the place, unfortunately.

But abuse ain't going to get you far on here or anywhere else.

There is a global pandemic on and ur complaing over something small? Give it some time and they’ll sort it out lol, why you threatening to take them to court, just write them an email or call them up and it’ll get sorted it happens, they paid me wrong when I first joined just sort it out via email. Like the other guy said, most are working from home so they won’t be able to access certain things. I’ve been missed paid during the Christmas period but I understand there is certain circumstances and they can’t do certain things and it’ll be sorted soon.
If ur already complaining now when you’ve relatively started you’ll be in for a treat in the long run
