No - you have the right to demand that your employer pays you the correct salary at the appropriate time - unless you have signified in writing previously that your employer is entitled to make deductions from your salary then he has no right to do so in accordance with: s. 13(1) Employment Rights Act 1996.
Unless your employer pays you the money you are owed within a reasonable period (up to you to determine that) you have the right to issue proceedings against your employer at an Employment Tribunal. Since this is a wages Act application and not an action for unfair dismissal or Constructive Dismissal then the issue of dismissal per se does not arise and you can issue those proceedings and still remain in that employer's employ.

Hi there,
First of all, my sympathies. Six hundred pounds is not small change, so I can understand how you feel when you are being shortchanged.
Next, I would like to put a positive spin to it, if I were you. Since you say you are due for promotion in a few months' time, you are obviously working with a company (and not with a mom-and-pop store). I suggest you perform your calculation on a piece of paper, walk into the accounts department, and request the person handling your case to give you their calculation on another piece of paper. See where the two of you are diverging. There could be a problem of different formulae being used, or a different interpretation of rules. It is quite possible that their miscalculation is an oversight. It is also possible that you were mistaken all along.
If you are working with a professional setup, I don't see any reason why your problem cannot be sorted out amicably. If it is not, then you might seriously consider changing ship?
Another thought that comes to mind is to check with colleagues to see if others too have had a similar experience.
Hth. All the best.

Don't let it go, even the bosses of the company will understsand where your coming from. Even they wouldn't wanna lose out on £600! Just make sure that you have got all of your figures right first as i have kicked up a fuss about my pay once and later found out that it had been taken in bank charges as i was unable to pay a couple of my Direct Debits, rather embarrasing! Good luck

You must go after it. If you are PAYE they know exactly how much should be paid and how much has, so they can't escape what they owe you. If you are paid by hours worked then you will need to be sure you kept accurate records of what you have done and then approach them again. They absolutely shouldn't get away with underpaying you and if they do try and wriggle out of it then go and work somewhere else as they are crooked. Just be sure you are correct, otherwise it will look bad if you accuse them falsely, and then try and get a promotion.
Good luck.

yes I agree you should carry on in your persuit in what is rightly yours! You earnt that money so you are entitled to it - I don't think it will affect your position for a promotion in december! You don't have to get nasty just keep on at your employer for the money and if your not getting any where with your immediate boss, go to someone higher up in the company! good luck and I hope you get this resolved soon..

go for the money but be pleasant about it. That's a lot of money to lose. If it's a mistake they should want to sort it out for you; if it's deliberate witholding of money you wouldn't want to work for a company like that? Anyway, if you're pursuing the money through Accounts or Personnel depts would your line manager know about it anyway when it came time for the promotions?

Age has not something to do with hair length!! this complete "women older than ---- *insert age the following* could decrease their hair short" element is a load of nonsense! in case you want your hair lengthy, then you truthfully could develop it lengthy. and in no way purely on your wedding ceremony. develop and luxuriate in it because it really is proper and woman and exciting. do not enable "them" allow you to realize you're too previous. i understand many older women with lengthy, proper hair. some a suitable silver. they'd in no way, in no way evaluate reducing it! i'm fourty one. I have lengthy hair. it really is getting longer for all time. I have surely no objective of reducing it. Now or ever.
