Some advice please!
The company I worked for went into liquidation at the end of September, on payday. No employees were paid at all on that date or have been since.
We were told at the time that P45s would be issued and that we would be able to claim our unpaid wages up to a maximum of £380 a week from the NIF.
The issuing of our P45s was significantly delayed (because the company had not paid the accountant at all!) but we all received our P45s through the post this week.
The crux of the matter is that the P45s show that the total amount paid includes September, despite our not being paid. This is down to the fact that the Directors instructed the accountants to run the payroll for the month before the company went into liquidation but subsequently did not pay us.
The accountants are saying that the value on the P45 cannot be corrected as the pay amounts etc have been submitted to HMRC.
Where exactly do I stand and does anyone have any advice about the next steps I should take?
N.B. Please, no "go to the CAB" posts. I am aware they exist, I am posting this to diversify the information I receive - there are a LOT of extremely knowledgeable people here and this thread is aimed at obtaining their advice
