What Do I Do?

[abbeylee90]

I'm really struggling financially and don't get paid till next Friday. How do I get money?

[newmodarmy]

They used to because they had to. the cleaning  job and care home should have too. I can't believe you've been there maybe 6 months getting paid weekly and still don't have a payslip. It's probably online. You've been complaining about being underpaid for months but done nothing about it despite all our advice. You won't ignore it again will you?

[Hazlinny]

Abbey, surely the Agency you work for/employer would be foolish enough not to issue you with a payslip?

By law (Employment Rights Act 1996), employers must give all their employees and workers payslips from their first payday. Workers can include people on zero-hours contracts and agency workers. Agency workers get their payslips from their agency. People who are self-employed do not get payslips.

Abbey says she is and was employed and paid by the laundry/cleaners/ carehome/HB not by the agency. I'm not convinced. Maybe she's paid via an umbrella company who take a chunk in fees and doesn't realise. Its all very oddest it's been something Abbey should have been sorting out ages ago

[newmodarmy]

odd but not  oddest

Any other person seeing such a huge reduction in their salary would be on the phone to HR or speaking to their manager asking what is going on.

I cannot believe that this has been going on for 6 months plus and she has not done anything.

The helpline I believe is open until 8pm at night and opens at 8am in the morning and may be open on a saturday until 4 (it was when I worked for HMRC)

So there is really no excuse not to sort this out.

What The Funicular do you do with your day - you only work PT!

Like the snow and leaves it may have been the wrong type of time.

[newmodarmy]

Bednobs- it's part time in the sense of being Monday to wednesday but it's a full day on those days.  Abbey did have time to post dozens of times on AB while working yesterday but may say they were done on short bursts rather than for 45 minutes continuously. But im not sure why she doesn’t leave the phone on loud speaker while in hmrc queue and get on with laundry work while she waits.

[newmodarmy]

I can't help feeling I'm overthinking this though.😉

[Hazlinny]

NMA/ If I was a laundry Manager, I don't think I'd be allowing workers to use the phone while working - OK while on breaks.

[newmodarmy]

it'll all  come out in the wash. I get the impression Abbey works on her own and is just left to get on with it.

[abbeylee90]

I know I've said thud before probably being paranoid but I haven't heard from guy I went on a date with since last night

[Redhelen72]

less than 24 hours? You are sounding like a paranoid girlfriend

[abbeylee90]

He hasn't opened my message 

[Redhelen72]

He may be at work 

Calm down - 1 date and you are stalking him!

[Neveracrossword]

Abbey, you have enough real things to worry about without getting paranoid about lack of contact - lack of contact from someone you've been out with only once! It's not a good start to any relationship... if this turns into one, it is very early days.

[newmodarmy]

I assume you're posting on AB from work again Abbey. Does that mean it's a quiet day?   Did you get chance to chase up your manager and HR about your payslips. If you have spare time to post at work maybe you could ask if there are any extra duties you could do- it might impress them eneough to offer extra hours or increase your pay? Do you have periodic performance review meetings to agree objectives, targets and development needs?

[Barsel]

So tired, day after day after day. Will it ever end?😩

[abbeylee90]

He still got a cold 

[Redhelen72]

Oh thank you, gosh I was worried
