Hey everyone
I just joined today so I thought I would say hello and say that it is very nice to meet you all
I'm hoping you can give me some advice, I started work on 02/04/12, signed a contract for 7 hours per week even though i was told in the interview that i would be working 8 hours per week. I was to work Thursday's and Fridays 10am-2pm, this worked around my kids school hours. So was perfect. Told my employer that I wasn't able to work weekends due to my kids which i was told was fine. Well when i started work i was only given 6 hours, i needed 7 hours to qualify for working tax credit as my OH works 17 hours per week, plus i was contracted for 7 hours. But my employer said that he didn't have the extra hour to give me even though they were still advertising. Week and week I kept asking for my hour, but nothing, and to make matters worst, I wasn't getting paid. It was suppose to be weekly pay, but almost one month had gone by. I told my employer that I haven't been paid and was told you will be paid next week, next week came and nothing, and nothing again the following week. So i was asked to write down the days that i have worked. Which i did, and since then I've only been paid one weeks wages. I was off work ill for a few days, and I called my employer to say that I still haven't been paid all my wages, that I was only paid for one week, to which he replied "But at least you got something", I also asked for my extra hour so we could claim working tax credit and he said that unless i worked weekends he's not giving me my hour. So what do I do??
