Pay issues with Employer

Even with one employee he should be running a proper payroll with deductions and such. I'm willing to bet that he is paying you as a self employed person!

Ether way you need to start asking some serious questions.
 
No doubt i will get into a windstorm of trouble over this but i have to ask


Where is company based and what is the nationality of the MD? just out of curiosity.
 
Follow the advice from ACAS - stop making payment for him IMMEDIATELY.

Good luck but stop rolling over for your employer - stand up to him.
 
I'd suggest sorting out your finances ASAP to square everything up and find a new job as soon as you possibly can.

My current employer has not been paying me properly for the past 5-6 months. It is always late, payments come in bits and sometimes overlap every month and I've not had a payslip for the past 6-9 months.

I've also made some payments for the employer on my personal credit card which amount to a fair bit of money.

Pretty much echoing what everyone else has said, but this isn't "pay issues", this is "red alert get the hell out" territory. Go through all the appropriate procedures to claim your expenses, by all means, but don't hang about.
 
Thanks all for your advice and responses.

I'll update the thread as things progress. I've already got a letter which I am going to post using a signed for service to the registered business address and I'll email a copy over to the director later as well. This will come as a shock to him I think.
 
Boss: Buy something for the company on your personal credit card?
Me: Hell no!

Why didn't your conversation go like that? 3k of company debt on your own credit card and it sounds like you can't prove it's the companies. If he goes under you'll end up with that debt.

Good luck sorting it all out.
 
The problem with it being a limited company is that your boss can basically turn round wipe the company out and walk away scott free as any debts are the companies not his, leaving you in brown water without a paddle.

If the company only consists of the director and you, why bother posting and emailing the letter? Surely if its just the two of you, you must be able to talk?

I smell a rat. Either this is all fabricated or you are leaving big chunks of info out.

You still want the paper trail that comes with sending the letters.

My point is, that if this is going to be a "shock" for his boss then clearly they have not had a normal conversation about this situation.
And i can not believe somebody would willingly put £3k on a personal credit card and would not have a conversation with the boss about it at the same time not discussing the lack of/ inconsistent payments and missing pay slips.

Considering the company only consists of 2 people, it just dont sit right with me.

Because after speaking with ACAS this is what they have requested I do should it go to further.

And of course I have tried to talk to him about it but being told "next week", "next month" or "in a few days" after many months one has to give up and look at other means to get this sorted.

What purpose does one have to fabricate a story on GD?

Unfortunately that doesn't stop a lot of people who then end up getting so lost in their lies they slip up and someone catches them out and then everyone who evers posts anything that could be remotely fishy gets questioned to death before giving up and just leaving the other very imaginative GD posters to make up their own twisted stories as to what actually happened.

I fully understand your point and I've learn't a lesson the hard way.

I put in the 3K after working with the Company for more than a year and I had no reason to think that financially it was unstable, the 3K is made up of 3-4 payments one of which is to HMRC.

I didn't realise the payslips mattered so much until today when I discovered that it was a requirement for him to provide me with them.

I wouldn't have come asking for advice on GD if I already had the answers.

It's not so much that people think you're making stuff up, as people don't understand how you could possibly purchase £3000 worth of goods for the business on your personal card while not being paid properly. The default response to something that sounds so stupid is to call BS...
 
OK I should have stated the payments I made for the company were before the issues with pay arose, of course I wouldn't have done so knowing he has no means to pay me back.
 
I would start liberating stuff from work to the tune of £3000. Start your own business and nick his customers.
