Hi All,
Just wanted a bit of advice please, I've been contracting through an agency, in my contract it states I should be paid on the last working day of each month, this has only happened once in 9 months.
Today is my last day working as my contract was suddenly pulled last week with one weeks notice. I contacted the lady at the agency ( it's her company and a one person company ) asking what time I should expect to be paid today.
The message I got back was
'We haven't been paid yet so it won't be today. It is looking like it will be next week, hopefully Tuesday with any luck.'
but it wont be next week as the company I'm working for only runs payroll every 2 weeks and it has been run this week, so I'm looking at another 2 weeks again to get my final pay.
Is it worth me going to a solicitor and getting a letter sent to the agency? I have said to the agency lady that I need to get paid as I dont want to be chasing her after I have left employment.
What can I do? Is it worth me going to a local solicitors this afternoon and getting a letter / email sent to her and charging her for my legal fees?
Thanks for any advice, I'm not usually shitty about these things but I'm never given a straight answer from the agency and I'm always getting mucked about by her
