Company refuse to pay me (6 years)

greeneye

For the past 6 years I have worked part -time since the return from Maternity leave. I work 41 1/4 Hours every 2 weeks.
(That is Mon,Tues one week 8am -4.45 .Mon ,Tues and Wed. the following week (same hours)and then back to Mon. Tues, again.

I found out Friday that in that 6 years the company have not been paying me for 2 1/2 hours every month.That being 40hours a fortnight only .I am paid by month and every month I fill out my time sheet with my hours on it . I understood I was getting paid as you would seeing they knew my hours. They have said they are not going to back pay me for the years not paid or give me time in leu.
They have said as from NOW ON that I can put it down as Flat time overtime or take it off in leu. Have I any grounds to stand on as this is a lot of weeks wages. I do intend to tackle them when next at work but am wondering if there are any solisitors out there or HR managers that can help me. PLEASE

You do not need a solicitor. All employment entitlements are dealt with by contacting the Department of Labour.

In my experience they look after every aspect of an individuals rights. Just give them a call.
