Nope, I've not been paid either, despite giving a manager my bank details earlier in the week. I would say that I'm shocked and appalled... But I'm not!

ive got two payments today, adding them up I think its correct. Still got this weeks payment to come, and Week 1 was low as well.

I really need a payslip to help know how much I loose due to tax.

I've been paid £184.62 for 7 full shifts.

By my reckoning, if on minium wage (£6.08, although I'm fairly certain night workers are on a higher rate?). I would have worked a total of 56 hours - minus 4 hours (one late start plus breaks), that means I've worked 52 hours. On this basis I would have earned £316.16 - taxed at the usual 20% would leave me with £252.96.

In conclusion, I've been grossly underpaid - unless I've been working for £3.55 an hour. Angard, what are you doing!!!

TBH im going to wait until my payment next week, add up how much I should have been paid, then add up how much I have been paid, and find out what the difference is. Working out the tax is my only problem.

My question is why aren't the union all over this? I know that the casuals aren't members but really the union should be pounding RM into the ground over this debacle, maybe the union leadership are now so deep into the RM board that they forget that they're there to help the workers.

I have not been paid by Angard for two weeks running. At our centre no one got paid the first week and just 10 of us on the same shift the second week were not paid again. The staff who were paid seem to have been overpaid whilst those who didn't have been given two lots of 350 vouchers each week. I've given my bank details 3 times now and they still couldn't pay me. It seems Angard won't admit to losing details.

Finished my 3 week shift now. Didn't get paid the first week (16th - 32 hours due), didn't get paid my 2nd weeks wages (23rd - 68 hours due) and doubt I'll get my 3rd weeks (67 hours due) wages next week either. :arrrghhh

Just tried to ring and they shut at 6pm, not open till Monday! :arrrghhh

Edit: Just realised it's Boxing day on Monday, they won't be open will they?

I went in for my final night shift last night at the Dorset Mail Centre.
I checked my Bank Account twice and nothing was paid in yesterday. I have yet to see an Angard payslip.
I complained to management.
Last week I received the £350 voucher which I made sure was quickly cashed and banked.
I get the feeling that this was a "sweetener" to avoid mass complaints after some got nothing unless you include a wage slip of £000.01 sent to another casual worker!
I am now down £300 at the same stage last year and have worked an extra night.
Reading the other threads it looks like Angard have substituted their own lower rates despite the ones shown on my RM Summary page

HIRED AND START DATE AGREED
Employer - Angard Staffing
Age 18 +
Mon - Sat 06.00 - 22.00 £6.35
Mon - Sat 22.00 - 06.00 £8.11
Sunday 06.00 - 22.00 £8.45
Sunday 22.00 - 06.00 £10.21

Surely Angard cannot be allowed to get away with this. All the casual workers who were paid yesterday said they were short changed.
