Well here goes.

Today I recieve an email from my employer who is an agency that pays me until I get employment from the people I am doing the job for ( I am deliberately leaving out names here). The email states, please make sure all your timesheets are submitted, we processed the payslips for this month yesterday.

before I go any further let me explain the system. Every week we fill out what we work in hours on an online time sheet the submit those payslips to a manager to be accepted, if they are not accepted or denied, we do not get pay for that week until it is submitted, meaning if a payslip is late, I can go weeks or even a month out of pocket.

As usual I check to make sure that it has been submitted, to my suprise, once again, my payslip has not even been looked at. So I check into why, the person who I am supposed to submit to went out of office last week and didnt bother telling me or the other employees affected by this. Therefore I will be out of pay by about £200, which is bad enough, but its a 5 weeks until the next payday.

This means I have to live off £600 over 5 weeks, this is stupid, I am trying to get this sorted through the agency that I work for but if it doesnt, I may have to go and see CAB as this is not the first time this has happened. :mad:

any advice, I am in the mood to spend all the money they are paying me this month to take legal action but that would just be silly as I wil be eating badly enough if it isnt sorted lol.

I wouldn't call this stupidity, more negligence and shouldn't be taken lightly. I would consider going straight to CAB anyway just to see what your options are.

Sorry to hear you're having these issues in this day and age, shouldn't happen.

3rd time too, I didnt take it further because they sorted it in time, but I am at my limit now. negligence on the managers part, but stupidity on the guy who invented/ implemented that system in the first lpace and decided that only one manager is available to accept my payslips even though there are two manager fields I can fill out.
 
This happens at my place quite a bit (although its only a week till we next get paid so not as bad).

Our's need to be signed off before 5pm Monday to be paid Friday and usually chase our managers if its not done by Monday morning (we submit friday).

So glad to be getting out of timesheets :D

I will be glad to see the back of it too one day, I honestly think I would get a massive pay rise going onto the dole lol
