Hi I need some advice
I worked for my sister who is a market trader for 26 weeks.
I had no contract no employee hand book no terms of employment or holiday pay - nothing. I have seen nothing.
I worked16 per week.
With no lunches
I took four days holiday in that time and got my bank holidays paid which was verbally agreed.
I gave Notice to my sister of a week and moved jobs, that was in March
I am still awaiting my original p45.
I was paid for that week and have my payslip.
I have all my payslips which say nothing about holiday etc.
On April 23rd I was deliver by hand by my father a letter with my name on the front, inside a computer typed letter no business heading or to me. From my sister saying her accountant has finished her end of year books, and could not sortthem out as I was not paid correctly my last week as I did not give a weeks notice ( I did) though over phone, and worked my week notice week which is two days.
Also it stated have had more of my holiday entitlement for the time I worked so I owe her 80.40 which she will take me to small claims court if I don't pay.
I called her accountant who paid and sorted my wages and they said that they don't keep records off holidays, and generally said they have nothing on file about this.
I have spoken to acas twice one guy said no contact or employmee handbook then she can't prove a thing.
Another said that verbal contract is enough....... though I was never told how much holiday I could have.
As we are talking sisterly love here!!!
Please can you help me as
If I though I owed her I would pay but I don't owe her a penny,
I think she has sour grapes and wants to put me through it as am getting my life back on track.
So what do I do now, do I write to her asking for evidence of her accusations proof of her conclusion.
I am hurt and dumfounded.......
