Yes, I have a properly-worded contract which they are currently in breach of. Think I'll take legal advice tomorrow if it doesn't get sorted today.

At the risk of repeating myself, find out the person responsible for you not being paid and go and talk to them face to face and see what is happening. If they blame it on a flaw in the system, demand payment temporary payment from the petty cash tin until they sort it.

He's in Turkey... and he has just blamed it on a system error. It's basically a cowboy company tbh. Ho hum.

Any reference to system error is bollocks, as the system is told what to do by a "human". If your line manager doesn't do anything then you have no alternative but to go over his head, even if that will not endear you to him.
 
Just a Thought, your bank account isn't one of those Barclays , ex Woolwich ones is it ?

My Salary was returned to the company last month because my account numbers had been changed and the letter advising me that the old numbers would no longer be accepted was "lost"

The only problem with that is that the only person above my line manager is the CEO (who is a complete and utter son of a billionaire), who is liable to fire me on the spot for insubordination. Actually, I wouldn't mind that at all, as I'm ****ed off, and will happily do them in court for breach of contract.

No it isn't, firestorm, it's a Nationwide one. Incidentally, those with Barclays accounts got held up, but have been paid today.

furry muff

Just an idea....

Are any of the others who have not been paid Nationwide ?

if it is limited to certain bank accounts it does seem to be a sort code related computer / Bacs issue.

unless its a very cunning plan to delay some of the payroll , made to look like a computer co** up
 
Not been paid yet this month (second month out of three that it's been late). No warning given that it was going to happen; no apology that it has and no explanation as to why. Spoken to Nationwide and they say that there's no payment pending, so it isn't even being processed.

As far as I'm aware, they've no intention of getting rid of me - in fact I've already been promoted and had a pay rise since I've been there.

I've complained to my line manager and the accounts department. The former doesn't blame me for being hacked off but just wants me to sit tight until it's sorted, the latter claims that I've been paid, which is patently untrue.

I'm not currently in a position where the money is 'needed', per se - it's a complete matter of principle. Unusually, for Mr Cocky-know-it-all-Orient-fan I'm at a bit of a loss to be honest. So, SZers, what should I do?

Watch Michael Douglas in Falling Down. That'll yield some helpful advice Jonny...
 
Jonny, I know what you'd like to do. You'd like to find the guy who did it, rip his still beating heart out of his chest and hold it in front of his face so he can see how black it is before he dies. But you'll probably just file a grievance with the Union.

The world's a twisted place.
 
I thought Londoners either worked in "the city" or a were wheeler dealers on market stalls :unsure:

Which is it mate?

When the camera panned across the Leeds fans on their way out yesterday I swore I could have been watching Last of the summer wine.

Then I noticed the hand gestures an general lack of good humour.

No, that sounds just like The Last of the Summer Wine.

We were in very good humour yesterday actually :p

Are you aiming to get a Chelski ticket? Surely there is a restriction on the number of caravans allowed down the Old Kent road ;)

No, but my great grandad did. :)



Take the money from the till or safe and leave a receipt.

This is known as equitable off-set. You are entitled to take what is owed to you and there is no theft.
