Hello!
My place of employment has recently changed owner and manager. Not only was I not paid on payday (Friday, four days ago) but they decided to use a random tax code on the payslip I was issued for wages I didn't recieve. this tax code meant had I got paid, I'd have been taxed over half my income. I have already spoken to HMRC and had my code rectified now. we were promised pay would be through on Friday by mid day. it never happened. Monday. nothing. we are normally paid every four Fridays, early in the morning. there's been little communication, I'm chasing my immediate manager, she's not being very sympathetic or helpful. I know another colleague has chased her manager but he does not seem to know either.
Am I still obliged to work my shifts if they're withholding pay due to a 'technical glitch' and can they just randomly change my tax code?
Also, I believe new management is trying to make me leave. They are aware I'm technically classed as disabled. They know I have an illness that causes anxiety and emotional problems that is well managed, very well managed in fact, but does mean I need special considerations for appointments, meetings and medicine reviews as well as physical tests like an ecg and bloodwork with varying degrees of regularity. I have been up front about this. they tried to block me booking holiday (with no one else away and no reason) when I booked time off because of a medicine change. I had to work one of the days anyway because 'youll be fine' and 'i have no cover for that day' I worked. it turned out, I was extra. I am routinely left alone with a lot of tasks to do in addition to serving customers and not allowed to leave at my scheduled time, or scheduled tasks that take twenty minutes three minutes before I leave but it's 'okay because you get paid for it, and that does not happen' and expected to do the work of three people alone, in half the time I got to do the work of one previously. my shifts and rota are often changed with no room for me to decline, and the rota regularly now goes up late. They are making it difficult for me to attend the medical appointments I now have to fit around the late rotas. I was only given my contract hours this week when I pointed out they were contract hours and I had to be paid for, or work them. there is no clause in my contract saying they can give me less than I'm entitled to. I have been repeatedly blocked for a promotion I was next in line for when the slot became avaliable. I have been shouted at to fix my attitude when my illness was flaring up. I'm made to feel guilty about needing time off. I have been rotad in to work shifts that the previous manager okayed as off for me due to medical meetings on the grounds that 'yeah I was doing the rota, and I have that written down but someone else asked when I was doing it'
However still have the Wednesdays off that I requested under old management.
Are they attempting a constructive dismissal by making my work environment too difficult to deal with and by avoiding reasonable adjustments? I have already sat down and discussed what I want and what I need. I'm worried the promotion is being blocked because of my illness.
