leaving without giving notice

Post by KS »

Can anyone tell me if I am entitled to wages for the hours I worked last week. I "walked out" without giving one weeks notice and received a wage slip today with £o.oo. Unsure if they have decided not to pay hours worked due to my not giving them notice, if so, is this legal? I accept that I am contractually obliged to give a weeks notice, however under the circumstances (that's for another post) this was not an option. Gosh, Moya is going to be inundated with letters soon.

you get paid for the week you are working, so if you have not been at work this week then you will have no wages.

If you were paid a full weeks wage last Friday and you walked out prior to completing your duty hours last week, you in fact owe the company money.

If you dont work your weeks notice, then you wont be due any payment.
