Not my month/year

Surely you don't get notice if you're leaving. You give them one month notice, then you work that and you get paid for it and you get your holiday pay. It sounds like you gave 3 weeks notice, so you get 3 weeks pay.
 
I work that out as 22 days pay and 1 days holiday (23 days in total). I don't think there is much you can do (that figure looks right to me), unless I am missing something obvious.
 
I was told that it would be 1 month in full via letter and face to face.

I was not required to work 1 month from the 22 to the 20th this month.

We get paid every month from the 20th/20th so I was already 2 past January pay date for December.

I was given my notice on the 22nd and told I would get 1 months pay/notice plus holiday from that period.

I did not choose to work for 3 weeks I was told I would not be needed for the months notice as I was dismissed.

It was unfair dismissal and that has now been dealt with however they are now trying to cause issue on pay.

This is another thread, but it's worth saying...

People moan that state-run organisations are inefficient and waste money. The current government loves to drone on about Public/Private partnerships, like they are the answer.

In reality, however, *all* private sector contractors set themselves up to 'milk' the government for every penny they can get. Seen it time and again.

So now instead of inefficient pubic sector workers being a drain on our economy, you have private sector contractors being a drain on our economy, offering the *lowest* level of service they can get away with.

Thanks, Obama Cameron.

I worked hard in my role but the company does not value its employees and is only after stats so that they can show them to the auditors to keep the contract.

The company does not care about its primary role they only do the bare minimum to keep the stats above the waterline so they can keep the money coming in.

This is how Seetec works and they are absolutely horrible to there employees.
 
OK, your OP makes it sound like you left rather than being let go! I have no idea how to deal with these things so I'll bow out.. Good luck though.
 
Sorry Craig, but I still fail to see how they have paid you short (again, unless I am missing something). Sure they could be a shocking company but from this brief look, I can't see how they are mis paying you. The remuneration looks right to me.

How?

My notice period is a month, a months pay regardless is a months pay. This was stated in the letter and in person.

The 20th of each month to the 20th of the next is the period we get paid monthly for. I was not paid this notice I was paid a little over half of this.

The fact my LED was on the 22nd should not mean they have held back nearly £500 should they?

Thats 2 days I worked after my prior pay date into the new period.
 
Just because you are paid on the 20th doesn't mean that is the period that your pay covers. I get paid on the 27th typically but that pay is for the full month (30th/31st).
It would be extremely unusual for your monthly pay slip not to cover one calendar month. The reason they pay you early is to allow you to pay rent, bills, mortgage etc before the end of the month when most bills are due. So if you stop working after the pay day in the month you will gave already received money for that period you havens worked.

Looks like you got paid on the 20th for the full month (up to 31st), on the 22nd you effectively left employment and are given 1 month paid leave which would be until 20th of Feb.

The fact is you were already paid for 23rd-31st January (1 week) despite being on leave so the remainder of the 1 month pay covers Feb 1st to 20th, i.e. 3 weeks.
 
When you started work with them, what day did you start and what day did you get paid and was it the full monthly amount?

When I worked for a company I got a months wage starting on the 1st, I got paid on the 15th for a month so i was in effect 2 weeks behind, 2 weeks ahead, so when I left I only got 2 weeks wages, not a month as I had already had them.
 
It is normal for you to be paid on a set day of the month for the whole calendar month. The fact that you are paid on 20th most likely means that you are paid from 1st to 20th in arrears, and the remaining days (21st until the end of the month) in advance. This means that because you stopped work on 22nd of the month, you in fact only worked for 22 days out of that month. So it sounds to me that they have paid you correctly by paying you in full for the month of January (even though you didn't work the full month), and a partial payment for February.
 
Sorry Craig but I feel I am missing something. This is how I read it:

Your employment terminated on the 22nd Jan.
They have paid you from the 23rd to the 23rd Feb.

That to me is a months pay and I am failing to see where you say a weeks pay is missing.

Because the amount paid is barely half a months wages, this is what I am trying to explain.

That plus the fact they have not actually paid the holiday pay.

And there being very difficult to communicate with, Amy the director shut me out when i asked her specific questions and closed the matter without giving me much of a chance to respond.


It may be that they are paying me for the right time period but the actually amount is wrong.
 
I see, so they said they have paid you but in fact have only paid you a couple of weeks. What you should do is send them a photocopy of your last 3 months pay slips and ask them why they are short on this final wage packet, when the contract clearly states [insert contract T&C's] and you expect full remuneration or you will have no choice but to take it to a tribunal.
