Bumped Wages

[right angle coupler]

Done some work for a firm but left giving them very little notice I should have got 3 days pay off them and all I got was a P45. Rang the office and got passed about a bit, rang one of the directors no answer, sent email no reply. What can I do next? Any help please

[scaffy]

Go down the office and kick off

Without coming across as a ****, a contract of Employment works both ways mate, proper notice etc, breach of contract etc. 1 week notice, your sound.........however do a one and you could be on a 'Sticky Wicket'.

You should make it clear to your employer that you are formally resigning. You can give your resignation verbally, unless your contract of employment says otherwise. However, it's always a good idea to put it in writing, saying:
•how much notice you are giving
•what your last day will be

If you want to explain your reasons for resigning, putting it in writing will make it easier to organise your thoughts.

Give your employer the right amount of notice. By law, you must give one week's notice if you have worked for your employer for a month or more. Your contract may demand longer.

Remember that:


•your resignation can't be taken back, unless your contract allows it, or your employer agrees
•you will get your final pay on your normal pay day unless your contract says differently - you don't have the right to ask for it any earlier
•as long as you have given notice in accordance with the terms of your contract, your employer must accept your resignation

What is an employment contract?

An employment contract, or ‘contract of employment’, is an agreement between an employer and an employee which sets out their employment rights, responsibilities and duties. These are called the ‘terms' of the contract.


Your employment contract doesn’t have to be in writing. However, you are entitled to a written statement of your main employment terms within two months of starting work.

The employment contract is made as soon as you accept a job offer. If you start work it will show that you accepted the job on the terms offered by the employer, even if you don’t know what they are. Having a written contract could cut out disputes with your employer at a later date, and will help you understand your employment rights.

You and your employer are bound to the employment contract until it ends (usually by giving notice) or until the terms are changed (usually in an agreement between you and your employer).

Whats with all the acas talk Paddy

The lads been ripped off, for three days wages, by some arrogant retard that thinks he is an employer

Notice or no notice the lad is entitled to his wages

[WORKSHY-APPRENTICE]

i agree with you there rigger, if a man does the work, pay him. even if your having your own money problems. be honest with the worker and dont just pass them about

[dico]

if you lent someone £500 quid for a month and you got knocked when they promised to paye you back your be p!sed right off but you would live with it but be very bitter!!!! but if youve worked for your money you want paying!!! name and shame unless you get payed

[right angle coupler]

I've read all the crap off adviceguide.org but the fact that I have nothing in writing and they have no signature off me must stand in my favour?

Whether it's right or wrong, Paddy is correct, you must be aware of these rules when it comes to cases like these so they can't spin rules on you. If you are fully clued up on what the score with the law is you are in a much stronger position and they will be less likely to try rip you off.

[rnroll]

tribunal number couple of scaffs i know called these got the form sent to employers and got there money tribunal form and booklet 08457959775

[21s]

[chosen one]

[andyf8686]

[dan-ger]

i kept the company van till my money was in the bank and then took it back. not a word said at the office that day. just walked in and put keys on the desk and said thanks. i never got a thanks for taking the van back.

[frederik]

Taxi for dan-ger!!!!

[dan-ger]

what do u mean fred?

[frederik]

avin a laugh dan-ger,Howed you get home after dropping the keys off.

[dan-ger]

had someone follow me. thick cnut still lost me in a sign written van. few phone calls and we done it. did i see in a thread on here that you said you were the least qualified on here. excuse me if im wrong on that.

[frederik]

Yes mate, Havnt spun the spanners for years. never had any tickets. The forum has renewed my interest. Dont know why I left it now.

[Rigger]

Dan-ger

beware of hanging on to firms van, if employer reports you to police for "driving without the owners consent" you have not a leg to stand on and the insurance will be invalid in most cases as you are no longer an employee of the company (block Insurance).

I know it can work in some cases but in others you will end up in a heap of sh*t :worried:

[dan-ger]

ive been on it coming up 18 years and just getting my trainee ticket. where u from?

[frederik]

Good on ya Dan-ger. I think its a great trade. I remember why I stopped,so ironically this is the right thread. got bumped working for stephen and carters. Moved to sgb kngs cross. horrible site in york road,hated band and plate,freezing cold and jacked. Live in Mill Hill.N.london.

[dan-ger]

wasnt s+c at witley was it?

[frederik]

No mate. Why has it taken you so long to go for your ticket?

[dan-ger]

Honestly. Every firm that wanted to send me for it i jacked first. Dont remember what film but I AM NOT A NUMBER. When you got advanced scaffs asking how to do jobs then somethings wrong. In my eyes i was taught by one of the best (Ken Dixon RIP) and he told me from the start if you want to learn, listen and you will or fcuk off now. As far as im concerned i know what i can do and dont ned a bit of paper to tell me. I havnt got a marraige certificate but i know shes my wife.

[dave]

well said mate!

[frederik]

haha I remember the big white ball in the tv series. Same as you,the chances I had for different tickets but didnt take.There are many on here with the same view.Dico,and Animal just got his part one.Experienced scaffs. Are you in the sccr?

[dan-ger]

No. Not sure what it is

[frederik]

Theres a link on the right hand side. Its started by forum members who werent happy with changes being made without consultation .Eg eictb scaffs having to re train,scaf- steps,health and saftey rules that apply to scaffolders etc. Stands for scaffolders confederation for consultation rights. Look it up.

[dan-ger]

aint got any tickets so dont really see the point. maybe later eh. in all honesty tho this is better than facebook. surely if you wanted to be friends with ur old school friends u would just ring them cos u would have there number if they were friends.

[frederik]

Can be addictive. I luved it for the banter,knowledge shared and advice. Seems to have slipped recently...so pleased to have hailed you a cab.lol
