Hi all

I'm leaving my job soon. Our payroll runs from 21st to 22nd (if that makes sense). I'll be leaving next tuesday but get paid on wednesday. I'm just wondering if they find out my last day is tuesday, will they be able to stop the pay from going in as they claim I owe them money from 3 years ago which I don't. Also, they said that I have taken holiday's I haven't accrued yet and that I owe them money for these also.

I would have worked my notice (4 weeks) but the contract is unsecure at the min and they said that the notice period no longer matters.

My pay will technically be in my bank account on the tuesday as my bank is HSBC and my work banks with HSBC so the funds will be clearing the day before kind of.
 
It will (or should) be calculated prior to them paying you.

You might get an extra payday 1 - 2 weeks from now settling up etc.
 
equally you could lose your time in hand, depends on how much you trust them on the "notice doesn't matter" bit, you could also expect to lose out for non-accrued holidays.

I understand this. Technically I'm working for nothing atm as it's after cutoff and I'll be left before the next cut off.
 
They can legally request the money from you if they pay you, then you leave.

As you would owe them for the taken holiday that you hadn't yet earned.
 
Update, my pay is clearing in my account and due to an unforseen circumstance, I need to leave today (no notice). Just wondering if they could stop the pay that is clearing? My pay day is tomorrow.

If you leave without notice I'd expect some repercussions such as claiming back pay equal to your notice period.

This is extremely unlikely to happen. Extremely.

The only consequence you can expect from walking out is that you can't ever use them as a reference.

Why? He owe's them money.

How do you manage to figure that? He's not been paid for his notice period, he just leaves. They're square, excepting the cost of him not being there. Not worth the legal hassle to pursue.

Holiday not accrued is another matter but, again, extremely unlikely to pursue. It's just not a worthwhile use of time and money for a company to pursue a couple of days pay.
