work constantly leavign my wages short

briantwin

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is any departments or employee rights groups i can contact about not getting my correct wages. The past 4 months they have left me short a total of 1500. Everytime i bring up the issue, im then told it'll be in my next paycheck but low and behold this paycheck turns out to be short aswell. Any idea who i should contact?

A solicitor. Politely inform them that if your overdue wages are not paid the next time you get your payslip you will be taking legal action as you've waited long enough. 4 months is an absolute joke ffs. Stand up for yourself man. If they're doing this to you god knows what else they're getting away with.

If you do have to pay a solicitor for a letter it might cost you over 50 euro or whatever, no idea but just guessing, but having someone like a solicitor outline how they're breaking the law and how they're liable will make them cake themselves and cough up I'd imagine. Best of luck

edit: sorry forgot to ask do you have union representation where you work? shop steward would be first point of call

It might be worth taking a look at NERA (national employment rights authority) who deal with employers who break the law with regard to pay. They could possibly advise you (and it'll be free).

If you're financially stuck, you might also consider looking into Free Legal Aid (if you think you'll need it), but I'd get in touch with NERA first.
