beachchick08	If he won't pay you, then you may need to talk to a lawyer about what you need to do, b/c you may need to take it to court. If they owe you the money, then they need to give it to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

keith e	you could talk to the DSS or the CAB for advice they will tell you your rights . Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gail	Not amused is giving you the best advice in this case... but you must make sure that all your records are accurate and you can prove what you are claiming. Make your enquiries about how to do this at your local county court and send one last e mail to your employer asking for the amount you claim you are owed, your evidence why and state that to prevent you from taking this matter to a small claims court you expect a response within two weeks. If you don't get your response take it all the way through small claims. An employment tribunal is a lengthy process and could cost you more that you could hope to obtain for an unlawful deduction of earnings. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

notamused	Sorry but the advice so far is worthless. A lawyer would cost to much and CAB could only tell you to do what you have already done. If I was in your shoes I would scare the pants off this manager and he would pay up right away. I would go to the small claims court and make out a claim for the wages in dispute. Just remember if you are in the right and you did work a week in hand YOU CANT LOSE full stop. The moment he recieves that summons he will be on the phone to you like a shot to beg you to withdraw the summons and state that he will pay up, but under the court rules he cant do that because you cant withdraw the summons untill the debt is paid. If it goes to court his firm will have a court injunction against it which will be very damaging for his company because it will prevent them obtaining any loans in the furure which may be vital for the firms survival. Ps make sure you take out the summons against the COMPANY not the manager. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pocketdragon	talk to a solicitor that does employment law take copies of the emails that u have sent and received to the said company it is all in ur favour then. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jeanimus	Go to the CAB with a copy of all your documents and they will help you apply to a tribunal for your pay. However first you need to make sure it is a week in hand. If it is then when you started there, you would not have been paid for the first week, but would have got the second weeks wage at the end of the second week. If you got the first weeks wage at the end of the second week, then youve not worked a week in hand, youre just paid in arrears. So anything due would be your wage up to the day you left.

KJ	As another answerer suggests, double check all your documentation (i.e. statement of terms, pay slips, etc), then call ACAS 08457 474747 for advice. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
