Re: help please in a right mess resigned

I may not be understanding this correctly, but I think you resigned to go to a new job, and the job now can't start until January? I don't think there is much you can do about this. If you have a written confirmation of the start date and the hours, you may be able to insist that they pay you. But on the other hand the first 4 weeks they can dismiss you without notice and they can dismiss you at any time in the next two years for almost any reason. So you are not in a strong position to argue with them.

In that case, sorry, but there is really nothing that you can do. If your old company would take you back, I'd go back. This new employer is not to be trusted.
