Re: Company withholding payment
I recently did some work for a company called Yodel delivering parcels, the work was arranged by a friend(a current employee of yodel) and as such payment for the work was to be made to him which in turn would be passed on to me. I completed the 2 weeks work with no problems and awaited payment...
Since i left my friend decided to try and steal a parcel from yodel, this was caught on cctv and my friend was subsequently arrested and sacked. The upshot of this idiotic action by my friend is that yodel have cancelled all monies owing to my friend, this comprises of £2000 of my friends wages and £500 owed to me for the work i carried out.
I have tried to speak to various managers at Yodel who will not acknowledge that i worked for them, insisting that i worked for my friend and that i had to see him about my money. This is pointless because i know he cannot pay me until yodel have payed him. I now find myself in an impossible position, having not done anything wrong.
Hiya just putting my couple of pennorth in.
The fact is that you were not working for Yodel, you were in fact working for your friend, therefore he is liable for any monies you are owed, because he was stupid enough to attempt to steal a parcel and subsquently get caught, that is his lookout, he is however still liable to give you your money, but this could end up with you having to prove that he owes you the monies.
Its no use you approaching Yodel for payment as they will say this is between you and your friend and none of their business. It is indeed best if you give the scanner back to Yodel in person and get them to sign for it.
I'd also ask your friend for payment in full for the work you have done, although I suspect he hasn't got any money now, sorry to say this but I think you've been dealt a duff card on this one.
