claiming wages

Post by stuartG81 »

right, i was suspened 3 weeks ago for "wilful delay"

i have recieved no pay at all over these 3 weeks, i phoned wages today and they said my manager had put in a note to stop my pay from November 13th, and that my absence is being classed as "unauthorised" woman on the phone at wages today said under no circumstances should he have stopped my pay and that i should have been paid in FULL during my suspension.

what do i need to do to claim these 3 weeks back? :Very Happy :nana

Send him a letter, copy it in to his manager & your CWU rep & tell him if you have to you will take it to ET.

Unfortunately this is an all to common practice because management do not know the conduct code, what has your rep been doing??? Ask for a meeting with your dim and tell them you are considering legal action, and point out that the women told u that the management are wrong, if your reps no good get in touch with your area rep, this is just another example of how far these scummy managers will sink :no no :no no :no no Do not let the bastards grind you down :Applause :Applause



WE are the union :nana :nana :nana

illegal witholding of wages under the Wages Act 1992 -recoverable in a ET + Dispute Resolution Act 2002 , sounds deliberately spiteful & vindictive -well I never!,he's trying to get you on UA to make the Wilful Delay charge stick , trying to be too clever by half -typical RM mgt

its clear yoy ARE due the wages iam a rep and are at present representing some one like you who is suspended on FULL PAY make it clear to managment that you are due the wages and because they stpped your wages the manager has found you guilty prior to any conduct interview and has prejudged the case and threaten him with an ET

Claiming Wages

Post by The Wee Man »

I seem to be missing something here, or maybe a bit more clarity is needed for me to understand what the hell is going on.

If stuartG81 has been suspended by management, then it was obviously a decision taken by them and full pay on suspension would be the norm for wilful delay. This meeans that, a conscious decision was taken to suspend, but then for the manager to send a letter to wages saying that the the absence was unauthorised has me baffled?! Is there something else we should know that you haven't mentioned yet stuartG81, because this situation sounds quite ridiculous? :hmmmm

nope, nothing at all.all i did was hand back 2 bags and they classed it as 'wilful delay', they stopped my wages for 3 weeks, i even phoned wages and they said i should have still been paid. told my union rep and he says it's now being sorted and i'll get the wages im due.
