Hi I am new to this so please be kind and bear with me if it seems a bit long winded!
Up until the end of January I have been self employed. Due to a recent downturn in demand, I was forced to give up my business and seek employment. I found two part time cleaning jobs, which together with a top up of tax credits seemed like a workable solution. One job is 10 3/4 hours a week and the other is 10 hours a week. The second job is 5 hours in one place and then 5 hours in another place if that makes sense? The first job is ok and I have no problems there. The second job has been a nightmare! I started at the end of Jan and have not been paid yet! Excuses have been all about not having paperwork, bank details etc. They have had these on several occasions and twice I have got in the car driven a round 30 miles to give them to manager. Last week I was told that they could not pay me as my crb check which has been done by them was not complete and they could not issue a payroll number until it was completed! On Friday I was cleaning in one of the banks when I tripped on a loose piece of flooring at the top of the stairs. I managed to save myself so did not fall down them all just the first 4. I cant say that I have hurt my back, but those of you that suffer with back pain will understand when I say that I feel like it could give me a lot of pain if I am not very careful with it at the moment. Last time I hurt it I had 4 months of agony and paid loads of money with chiropractor to get it right. I think I am justified in being cautious with it. I want to ask what are my rights regarding not getting paid? I am absolutely skint without these wages. I want to tell that company to stick its job, but with only working 10 3/4 hours for the other company I wont be able to claim tax credits anymore. Also if my back does go I dont know how I stand having two jobs and sick pay? Also if they dont pay me this week and I say I cant work for them anymore how would I stand with regard to claiming JSA while I look for another job. I feel like I am going mad thinking about it. I really need to know my rights as if I dont receive wages from them by Wed at the latest I wont be able to continue to work and will not be able to afford to get there. Please can somebody advise me as to my rights I would be very grateful. Thank you
