withholding my pay due to an issue with bank details. please help!
I started my employment on the 21st of October. I was meant to receive my first wage on the 22nd of November. On payday i checked my bank account to find i hadn't been paid. i rang my employer explaining what had happened and that i was unable to get into work without pay as i travel nine miles on a bus to get to work. i received a call back regarding payroll phone number and the employee number i would need. i had already called the bank and they had assured me that there was no payment into my account. i called payroll and explained, they passed me through to someone. they told me that i had put an incorrect number on my account number. the problem was i had put my account number as xxxxxxx3 when it was actually xxxxxxxx8. They then told me they need to have the payment rejected before they can resend the payment to my account, so i called my bank to find if that account number was actually account and would the payment be rejected. they told me it wasn't an account number so it should be instantly rejected. I then called my employer and explained that i still have no money and have no way if getting into work, to which i was told to 'just try and get yourself in'. As i was a new starter i decided my only option was to walk. knowing i would be late i attempted to let my employer know i would be late and set off. now as i said its nine miles to my workplace and it tool me two and a half hours to get there. o also had to walk a mile up the side of an A road. when i got there i was helped by a team manager who phoned to find out what the next step was. to which we were told they needed to wait for the rejected payment to come through on the Monday, the day of this being Friday.
Monday came and i managed to get into work and asked what was happening, i was told it could take upto ten days for the payment to be rejected, meanwhile Im still being made to work and i have been told nothing else can be done.
what are my rights? Im kinda struggling to eat atm as iv not been paid, Im also struggling to get into work because i haven't been paid. and everytime i ask the question i don't get any answers! Please help!
Also forgot to mention that i was hauled into a meeting at the end of the day the problem started. the meeting was to find out why i was late that morning...it was a 'fact finding meeting' but it was quite obviously a pre-disciplinary meeting, which i thought was extremely rich
to which Im still to find out what is happening regarding me being late.
