tell them unless they pay up you will have to seek legal advice and possibly take them to court.
Usuall works sharpish, if not then actually take them to court. |

You can file a complaint with the local labor department if you have proof of hours worked vs. hours paid. |

Take him to small claims court. Just go to local magistrates and ask for some forms. You might have to pay a small fee, but will get that back when your employer gets his judgement.
That should be enough incentive to get him to pull his finger out! |

-keep a record days worked
-get a witness to confirm that you worked those days
-write a letter to employer to what you are owed and when will you be re-payed, keep record of what they reply
-always get promises from them in writing, demand it as the is no legal clam on word promoses ( this will also force them to pay up faster because you have written prof)
-give them 2 weeks Inform them after this time you will no longer except delay and will be taking it further.
give them 2 weeks if it is not sorted report them to your union
to a higher body or small clams court |

it is a legal requirment that employers do not make unauthorised deductions from your wages. They say there is a mistake, but legally they have a period of time to resolve that before it becomes more like a lack of will to rectify rather than an error.
You need to speak with an employment lawer, and let them see what they can do. but in the end if they do not pay, you are in the position of going to court and loosing your job, or struggling for it |

talk to other workers and see if they have the same situation
that way you can have more power when you go talk to your employer (if theirs nobody just be confedent) went you talk to him, tell him straight out you want your money or you are going to sue him, when you tell him don't make a whole speech, just tell him what you want, your money. |

Have you kept copies of your time reporting paperwork or a log of your clock times? If not, then start doing so. It may be too late for past debts but you can document further "mistakes".
With documentation, you can go to wage and hour board or small claims court if necessary, but provide the boss with _copies_ of your time docs first so that he knows you are on to him.
Avoid violence, that never solves anything. |

Hello Dave,
Having worked for the Industrial Tribunals I feel well qualified to answer your question.
Your best bet is to contact the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS). This is a free, confidential, and independent body set up by the Government to help employees in similar circumstances to yours.
The link to ACAS is:
http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1461
ACAS does not accept emails so you will need to phone or send them a letter.
It appears that your employers have broken their Contract with you and provided you have worked for them for at least a year, you may be entitled to leave their employment and take them to an Industrial Tribunal with a claim of Constructive Dismissal.
Constructive Dismissal is a part of Employment Law which allows an employer to leave his/her employment if he/she consider their employers have neglected to fulfil their part of the regulations or contract under which they were employed.
If you decide to take this step, my advice is to contact ACAS first. ACAS can step in and arbitrate with your employer to try to resolve the problem.
Also if you take this course, do not just up and leave and then make a claim as this is likely to fail. You must give your employers the opportunity to rectify the problem.
Write them a letter diplomatically pointing out that for several weeks you have received less than the full amount of the wages you are entitled to and that you are constantly being told that it will be rectified in your next pay packet but never is.
If your employers still do not pay you the money they owe you, write to them again and inform them that you will reluctantly have to terminate your employment with them if the problem is not resolved.
If it is still not resolved you can submit your notice, leave and then make a claim for constructive dismissal on the grounds of your employers failure to adhere to their contract with you and non payment of full wages.
Make sure you keep copies of all the correspondence with your employers and yourself and if possible get a signature for any letters or documents you give to them.
If you win this claim, you may be entitled to considerable compensation.
Of course I am sure you don't want to be forced to take these steps but equally your employers have a responsibility to you and to make sure you are paid your correct wages.
The best of luck

i would contact the citizen's advice bureau. they will put you intouch with someone who can tell you what your rights are on this one. your company may owe you interest on the money owed and they must also carry out their side of the contract that they must pay you in time. It's not a joke and you shouldn't stand for it. threaten to look for another job, they are not in any rights to dismiss you on this one so you are totally safe to imply you might leave. |

Very easy...keep a record of the paychecks with the table of what you are owed, how much time you have worked, and what you were paid. Provide a copy to your employer with your written request, and if they do not comply immediately, consult a lawyer of local employment office of your town. |

It would be difficult and costly to force them to pay, unless you want to fall out with them and end up losing your job.
Just work out exactly what you are owed and take it to the person who does the payroll and say you want it in next weeks pay packet, if they have it in front of them they have no excuse |

hourly employees in the USA are protected from what you describe.
Advise the employer that you are going to report him to the labor board. Is anyone else having the same problem?
Is the guy about to abandon this business? Sometimes when a business owner owes taxes and payroll, it is a sign he is about to bolt! Don't steal to compensate, but contact the state district attorney as well as the state labor board.,
Be sure to document dates, ther hours he owes you., keep all your pay stubs. and when possible, the dates and his responses when you ask for your money. Most cases are wonby the employee.
And a .357 is a good option too ! |

Take them to the small claims court. You will need prooof that you worked the hours tho. Good Luck! |

Just keep track of all your hours and stubs. I'm sure they will pay you, it sounds like they have some payroll glitches or something.
Give them a few weeks or whatever, and then have a sit down with whomever you can, whether your boss, or the payroll people, or human resources, etc.
Love jack |

The same thing happened to me very recently,i lost my job last week because i refused to come into work because they didnt pay me for 7 weeks.I couldnt even afford to come into work because i didnt have any money.I told them and they sacked me because i had no money to get to work,they didnt believe me,they didnt pay since i started the job i was very pissed off.Anyway they paid me after they sacked me but the y didnt pay me all of the money i was owed.I have to wait until the next payrun which is not this friday but next because they are a bad company.They dont come in to collect the time sheets when they are supposed to and pay people when they feel like it.They still owe me £160 and if i dont get it when im supposed to even though i want it now im going to make sure i get it even if i have to take legal action. |

you could cut their head open, remove the top of the skull and then you get a knife, you gradually peel off their brain like slices off cheese while you have someone else cork screwing his heart and then you cut off his balls.
This is not advised and only do it with adult supervision when needed. |

approach him a nice way. if he/she don't pay you, pray him to God, if that's a big money then you can tell it to a higher officer or official |

sue them for lost wages plus interest. |

"Lawsuit" springs to mind. If you can find others similarly treated, you may be able to bring a class action or start bankruptcy proceedings (company gets sold to pay employees). |

In the United States we have a wage and hour board where we can go to fr help. The will shut him down until he pays you what is owed. Or tell him, your wage is not up for negotiation and either you get it up to date or you are going to get a Lawyer and own his company. |

My previous employers have made us unlawfully redundant as they told us on the day rather than giving us notice and they are refusing to pay us for our months work. Because we have not worked there for 2 years, we are not entitles to statutory redundancy pay. The company is completely closed with police and bauliffs in attendance on the day of our redundancy and the owner has left the country. What could I do in getting my monthly pay? I did receive a letter several days later with my P45 stating my redundancy and that I can contact them via email or phone for references but there is no answer whatsoever. |
