Advice needed

[adarling2006]

Hi folks, I need some employment advice. My situation is this, I'm contracted to work 32.5 hours a week yet for the past 3 weeks I've been paid for only 30 hours. Every time I say to my line manager about It to get something sorted out it never seems to happen. It's not the first time is has happened though and I'm getting really ****ed about it so what can I do?

put your request in writing politely?

 

How long have you worked there?

[adarling2006]

Over a year now, is there a template letter?

[SweetLorraine]

If you have a (signed?) agreement stating your contracted hours refer to that. I don't think there is a template for this. Just keep it short and to the point. And polite of course.

I have a signed contract and all the relevant wage slips showing the difference, the contract does state I'm contracted for 32.5 hours a week.

This is what I'm going to write.

Dear boss

It is with a lot of regret I'm having to write this formal letter to you concerning the hours I'm contracted to work, yet not receiving those hours i am entitled to be paid for as per said contract. Past 3 weekly wages I have missed out on the 2.5 hours under contract, totalling 7.5 hours and I respectively ask that these hours be paid to me.

Just a though - you aren't contracted for 30 hours but with a half hour (unpaid) lunchbreak I suppose?

 

EDIT - sorry just noticed this is a recent change not a misunderstanding in a new job...

I work from 2 til 8, 1 hour break unpaid, 30 hours a week, the 2.5 hours are extra as a team leader I have admin work to do, but all I seem to be getting recently is just the 30 hours a week.
