Holiday Pay and No contract
After starting up a shop for my employers, I was let go on August 18th 2013, very unfairly and without warning, but as I started my employment on 26th Feb 2013, I realise that there's nothing I can do.
I have had quite a problem claiming the holiday pay and weeks pay in lieu of notice, but finally yesterday it was paid, after they'd already issued my P45.
The amount of £364.82, had £72.80 deducted and £25.86 National Insurance, leaving me with£266.16.
I believe that I have overpaid tax, which I took up with them, and they have replied that their accountant had to tax me on a week one basis, as my P45 had already been issued. They tell me I have to reclaim the tax myself.
I have had half a weeks benefits since , about £48 and 3 weeks of employment of around £181 after tax and ni. My new employer didnt tax me on a week one, so I'm a bit confused.
I had previously threatened them with an Industrial Tribunal.
Although asking for a written statement of particulars twice, I was never issued with one. Originally I was told I had to work for 12 weeks, 6 days a week, to develop the business , then I could change to 5 days. I worked all hours for the first 12 weeks, approx 50-55 a week, then after this period went down to about 44-45 hours. During the last 8 weeks of my employment , for a couple of weeks , I only worked for 30 hours, but then returned to 44-45. My pay was worked out as an average over the last 12 weeks, which is annoying , as I wasn't allowed to take a holiday during the first few weeks.
Anyway , the point is, should they have taxed me on a week one basis, and would this have increased the amount of tax by about £35?
Do I still have a case for an Industrial Tribunal? I have incurred bank charges during this time and struggled to pay for food etc during the time I had to claim benefits, until finding further work.
Sorry this is so long winded, and hope someone can give me some good advice
