    Not sure if anyone can help. Was made redundant yesterday, have not been paid wages for the last two weeks, told to go yesterday no work for me and other staff. I was not reimbursed for wages im owed, holiday pay or my minimum notice (two weeks). I'm waiting for employer to sign up redundancy claim form.

    We questioned money we are owed and he told us to bear with him and he will honour what we are owed but it will take a while. I have a funny feeling we are going to be shafted. Basically im just wondering if anyone has any idea of what other routes i can pursue to get sorted.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Ask your boss to acknowledge in writing, using the company's headed paper, what you are owed. Make sure he signs this and dates this.

    Also, is the company facing bankruptcy? if so i would really push things because if the assets are liquidated and the company closed, you will probably be the last to get paid.

    I wouldn't be so hard on your boss. If he can't pay you, this doesn't mean he has set out to "shaft you" as you put it. Being shafted I would imagine means someone having your wages but deciding to keep it, which is a different thing entirely from someone simply running out of cash due to trading conditions. Businesses are running out of cash everywhere, you should go to your local TD and ask him/her why your taxpayers money that is being used to bail out the banks and that is apparently being used to "support the wider economy and protect jobs", is not being made available to your employer and why you are now out of a job because your employer has run out of working capital.

    I'm all for doing what needs to be done to protect the economy, but there is no sign whatsoever of this money that is being given to the banks, finding its way into the economy. Instead all we are seeing is one record month for job losses breaking the record for the previous month's job losses or redundancies.

    Violence towards who??? I run three small businesses and things are extremely difficult at the moment. I'm in contact with people everyday who are letting people go, not because they want to, but because they have to.

    If you want to have a go at someone, as I said above, go down to your TD and ask them what the f*ck is going on??? As him/her do they have a strategy to stem job losses and if they do, would they mind sharing this strategy with you??? Also ask them how come we are pumping BILLIONS into the banking system and none of this is being made available to viable small and medium enterprises that are employing people???
