Outstanding Wages + Holiday Entitlement

[perks]

Please help!

 

In a nutshell I walked out of my job on the 27th November and haven't been back since. My employer suspended me on full pay and arranged a disciplinary meeting for the 1st December but I did not attend. They re-arranged the meeting for the 5th December but again I did not attend. I received confirmation of disciplinary on the 9th December which states that my employment has been terminated.

 

My problems are:

 

1) A payment of 36.5 hours which I had worked before the 27th November is still outstanding.

2) I have still not received a P45.

3) A payment of my holiday which I had accrued is also outstanding.

 

I have raised the issue with the company's HR officer who has assured me that the matter is being dealt with and to expect full payment of any outstanding monies today (30th December 2011) but I have still not received anything. I have kept a record of telephone conversations and all written communication as a precaution.

 

Am I entitled to this monies?

 

Am I just being messed about?

 

How can I pursue this further?

 

All help and info would be extremely welcome:|

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

while you are waiting for a reply, have a look around the forums, you may get an idea what your rights are etc.

Hi Perks.

 

Never a good idea to not attend a disciplinary if at all possible, for (as you have already found out) your employment can be terminated quite lawfully in your absence, however:-

 

Yes - you are entitled to receive all monies owed to you up to the point of dismissal, including untaken holiday entitlement etc, and nothing can be taken from this unless your contract permits it. If the money has not been paid by close of play today, I would compose a letter informing the company that if not paid within the next seven days you will be seeking action through an Employment Tribunal for what you are owed. Give them a breakdown of the amount and refer to the assurance already made that this should have been paid by today.
