Employer Refusing To Pay

Xenji

A friend of mine left a job after 5 weeks and did not give his week or two week notice, according to the Citizens Information page you are not required to give notice unless you have a contract which he had not or leave within 13 weeks of your start date. The employer is now refusing to pay him for the last week he worked and also the week in hand he is owed also, is this illegal or is the employer in the right?

Thanks, from what I can make out from that is that the employer has to pay him what he is owed by law.

Yep - see the "how to apply" at the bottom as well.
