  • 2 months of withheld pay - help

    We were due to be paid on the 15th August (July wages) and I was one of some that were paid exactly half of that months wages, other employees had no wages. I received and email to say that the remaining pay would follow within 5-7 days but this never happened. This pay has been declared to hmrc despite the tax, no not technically being paid.
    Numerous emails have been ignored, no update on pay at all so an early concilliation was started with acas, this is ongoing.
    I left the company as have been offered a new job, they didn't want any notice period and stated that August pay, remaining holiday and my P45 would be paid but have not stated when.
    Today is pay day, we always receive payslips and Hmrc details well before this time in the mornnog but there has been nothing. What should my next steps be, do I contact them for confirmation in black and white if they give one?
    Another case will have to be started for the August wages etc now but am I best to go straight to tribunal or small claims?
    This money is owed, has been worked for and understandably is needed but you receive now response from HR, just get ignored.

    This feels like your ex-employer has serious financial problems, doesn't have the cash to pay the wages, and may be about to declare itself insolvent and cease trading.

    Do you think that might be the situation?

      Did you contact your employer and ask then why you have not been paid?

      If so what was their response?

      Are you still in Early Conciliation (EC) with ACAS for the previously withheld half a month's wages or have you been provided with an EC certificate?


      I do not provide advice by PM although I may on occasion ask you to send me documents this way but any related advice will be provided back on your thread.

      I do my best to provide good practical advice, however I do so without liability.
      If you have any doubts then do please seek professional legal advice.
