Hi everyone i was paid off two weeks ago tommorrow i was working for a company but was agency so the basically terminated my contract. They pay monthly and used to have a cut off half way through month.

So........

I have tried ringing over and over and eventually caught the person who deals witb pay and they say i wont get paid till the end of the month now surely this is not right why when i was paid off two weeks ago do i have to wait till the end of october to get paid i know longer work there so should i not be paid up as they are withholding my money

Any advice much appreciated

Stu

Do you use an umbrella or are you Limited..?

Think it was umbrella mate used to claim millage and food and was deducted of my wage so paid less tax

Call ACAS 08457 47 47 47 for guidance, they are usually very helpful

It would depend on when you submitted your timesheets to the umbrella, and also, do they pay if they don't receive the funds from the employer, some do, some don't.

If you got your timesheets to them in time, then give them a bell and ask the question.

The company in question wanted to do the timesheets and pay themselves all i had to do was submit my food and millage to the payment company then they recieved the pay from the company i worked for and sorted out tax to pay me. They already had my times i worked when they paid me off

Sounds like you were a on a fixed term contract if you were dealing with them directly.

Simple answer is no they shouldn't pay you at the end of the month. But the time it would take to get a resolution through anything other than waiting will take longer than the end of the month...

As previously mentioned ACAS are very good, but may not be able to get things solved much quicker as they will do most things by post, giving 7 days to respond to each letter. May be worth it just to give the company a little kick up the ass.
