Partner suspended on pay but have not been payed

[povertypimp]

My partner was recently suspended on pay from there job pending investigation because of an allegation made against them, my partner is paid every 4 weeks however she has not been paid.

As my partner is currently suspended i don't want to start ringing the employer up etc is there a template letter i can use to raise this issue with them? we now only have £60 ctc. to live on.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated as i don't think its a mistake by them i believe they are trying to make my partner leave the position.

They are a total keystone cops operation.

Take a look on the ACAS website you might find that helpful. But please bear in mind that quite often employers use the pending investigation excuse to ensure that employee with two years continuous employment with them become time barred from making a claim via ACAS as you only have three months to do so.

You have three months to submit a request for early conciliation via ACAS, which is now mandatory before you can submit a claim, however, the clock starts to run from the date of termination, not the date of suspension, which may be months apart. To give you an idea, I was once suspended in July, termination letter was dated 16th September (not today, that was back in 2003).
