Morning,
just after some advice here, I have been employed by the same company for 11 yrs, at the beginning of April 2020 my employer told us we would be on furlough and would be looked after, I rather foolishly accepted their word, long story short is that by Sept 2020 I discovered that I had not been paid since March 2020, I was subsequently paid and promised that the back payments would be too, (they never were!)
I received payments from October 2020 to January 2020, nothing since. I know that furlough applications were made and received, another employee received all her payments.
My employer continued to promise that the payments would be made however, nothing has ever been received. In late August / Sept 2021 the company emails ceased to operate and I could no longer contact my boss by phone either.
I believe that I am contractually due to receive the amounts due and indeed my employer has agreed to make the payments in writing too, I have been very patient and now am in a very difficult position personally and financially too, luckily i had savings to fall back on and I am currently self employed so I can pay my bills etc.
The company and my boss still exist, I do know that much, he is based overseas in the US.
I assume my best course of action is to launch a claim of breach of contract as he has failed to pay me, but any advice anyone is willing to give me would be gratefully received
.
many thanks in advance
