Franchise business contract mess

[Perks30]

I was employed to work as a kitchen manager for a newly opened franchised business. The franchisee's put into place by head office had invested a large sum of money into the business which was packaged as a stand alone, freehold opportunity.

 

My contract of employment was drawn up by the franchisee's which I agreed with and signed.

 

However, it became apparent that the owner of the franchised company had other ideas for the business and decided to remove the franchisee's from the business, rendering every bodies contracts null and void and ultimately without a job.

 

No offer of payment has been made nor any clear or concise reason behind the management decisions made.

 

I would like to know my rights and seek full reimbursement of wages owed as well as possible damages to rectify the vulnerable position i've been forced into. I am currently now in arrears with my rent.

 

Do I go after the franchise or do i go after the already out of pocket franchisee's who were ejected from the business?

 

Please help!

Your wages should be paid by the person who employed you which will be the franchisee's as you had no contract with the franchise I am not sure what if anything you can claim from them unless you did any work for them.

Would it be a civil court case or should i start the lengthy employment tribunal?

 

I am still in contact with the franchisee's whom have been heavily ripped off and have been left without a penny to there name They are starting legal proceedings against the franchise for fraud and breach of contract.
