On the 24th Of august 2005 I started a job at a petrol station.
When I started my manager said I would get a weeks wage the following week
and then its monthly from then. I handed in all my bank details 3-4 days
after I started and all got sent of to relevant departments.
The week I got told about my payment I had no wage and then my manager said
sorry my mistake you got to wait until 30th September. So thats 5 weeks
without pay. I had to travel 14 miles to get there on the trains and buses
and relying on lifts from family.
Travel expenses cost me £20 a week. So based on that with no income I had to
spend £100 on travel before I got paid.
I spoke to my manager about this and perhaps leaving early. She agreed to a
week as my mum was ill and could not pick me up. After a week my mum was
still poorly and could not pick me up still. I once again asked again to
leave early if I started earlier to cover my hours. I got told no. If I left
at normal time I would not be able to get home as the trains and buses would
of stopped running.
I also asked for Saturdays off as I see my daughter. I got told no problem.
But out of the 4 weeks I was there I had to work 2 Saturdays. And one was a
11 hour shift. I never saw my kid. :(
So I decided not to go back. Because it was so far I never got chance to
take my uniform back just yet and the shop keys. As I have no money just
yet. I also never handed in my notice as I was only there for 3-4 weeks
I suppose my real question is this:
Can they stop my wages that go in some time tonight I hope for the hours I
have worked or would this be against the law?
