    Re: Pay 2 weeks late.....again

    Right in that case send them this letter.

    Formal Letter Before Action

    Dear Sir/madam

    I am writing this letter to you in regards to the non payment of my final wages owed by your company to myself for the days worked between the 1st May to 16th May (2 weeks and 1 days pay), plus accrued holiday pay (delete if you have no accrued holidays) and bonuses due but not yet paid (delete if no bonuses are due). Which should have been paid to myself in full by the 21st of May.

    As you know, each month i was paid for week 1, 2, 3, on the (or around if the date fell on weekends) the 21st of each month for work done and at the same time paid 1 week in advance for work to be done on the 4th week of the month. I handed my notice in on the xx/xx/xxxx (enter date) giving x weeks notice which lead to my employment with yourselves ceasing on the xx/xx/xx. According to my maths, you there for owe me £xx for 2 weeks and 1 days pay plus accrued holidays and yet to be paid bonuses (delete bonuses and holidays if not applicable). Which should have been paid to myself on Wednesday the 21st May 2014.

    I am, as of the 4th June 2014, still awaiting payment of my final wage and monies due to me under statutory law or contractual terms. As such i have sought advise on the matter and have been informed that non payment of wages when contractually due to be paid is deemed in law as an unlawful deduction of wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights act 1996. And that whilst the monies remains unpaid your company remains indebted to myself as though i was a creditor of the company.

    Therefore if the full outstanding amount is not paid to myself in full within 7 calendar days of the date of this letter, i will have no choice but to issue a country court claim against you to force repayment. This means you may face, depending on the outcome of the court claim, additional costs such as court cost, legal fees, and interest at a rate of 8% on top of the amount owed to myself in unpaid wages etc.

    I expect to see the amount owed paid in to my bank account on or before (certainly no more than 3 working days after) the 11th June 2014.

    I look forward to receiving your written confirmation that the monies owed to myself will be paid in full on or before the above date.

    Yours sincerely

    Delete bits in red and any part you feel is not applicable, and correct my grammar and spelling mistakes too.

      WOW! thanks ever so much, sounds good!

      If they don't pay in that time, how do I go about bringing legal action?

      Also, up to now, they've not put anything in writing. (easier to leak). Should I ask for some kind of response to this letter?

        Yeah at the end where i put "I look forward to receiving your confirmation that the monies owed to myself will be paid in full on or before the above date." change it to "I look forward to receiving your WRITTEN confirmation that the monies owed to myself will be paid in full on or before the above date."

        Have they not communicated by email at all - As that is classed as being written communication too.

          Nope, nothing in any form of writing.

          All verbal in large company meetings. Should have taped it.

            Well the fact you got payslips and bank statements proving the approx date of wages being paid to you, and no doubt a copy of the notice you handed in, then its safe to say you got all you need to claim your unpaid wages mate.

            I assume they did give you a written contract right? If they didn't and knowing who they are now, i would be flabbergasted if they never gave a written contracted!

                      Yep, I've been reading them all.

                      So glad to be out of there. Even if something gets sorted and they survive, it's not a good industry to be in..
