Not being paid by new employer after two months

mada82 · 28-10-2015 10:39PM

I'd just hound people non stop tomorrow until you get immediate payment. Don't settle for anything other than immediate.

Hound absolutely everyone.

It's a fairly ****ty thing to do on someone maybe you should line up another job if possible.

It's only been just over a month or am I wrong? You started on the 14th of September. Still, tell them to give you a cheque.

You're going to be taxed quite heavily too I'd imagine.

What about tax credits? A comment like this is unhelpful and can only make the OPs worry worse.

Yes but the OP has missed 2 pay cycles. It is not all that surprising that she was not included in the September pay cycle as she had only worked part of the month and they may not have had time to get her set up on the system (still bad form) but it is totally unforgivable that it was not resolved for the October pay cycle.

I too would wonder about the financial status of a company who are playing silly buggers with paying staff. It should be their first priority.

You need to contact NERA and they will deal with this, however if you are in a union they should have sorted this for you already.

What are the in house procedures, payroll can be sorted in a matter of minutes, not hours, not days, minutes literally,

It is illegal for this company to withold your pay, the National Employment Rights Authority can contact your workplace, as an advocate on your behalf, however you will have to have shown you made your employer aware of situation.

You need to dociument all contact you've had in regard to this matter, use in house procedure tomorrow and if this isn't sorted by Friday morning, contact NERA.

Get the Guards involved if necessary.

The OP works for a large multi-national which, if posts on boards are anything to go by, may not be the cuddliest of employers in the world. Allegedly. I doubt they're going bankrupt, have unions or are committing fraud. She's caught up in the giant slow-moving wheels of bureaucracy.

>>She's caught up in the giant slow-moving wheels of bureaucracy. <<I bet they are the type of Company set up in Ireland to avoid American taxes ,and paying no or little Irish tax .As i said she has got to start screaming if necessary .

I think tax is a very relevant issue. The OP clearly is worried but thinking about tax implications is a relevant topic.
I hope you continue to hound them for payment and demand payment immediately. As people have pointed out you should ask them to make you out cheques that you can cash immediately.
I will assume this works and this is where tax will come in. It would be wise to have your due pay spread out to avoid you being taxed at a higher rate. The company should readily facilitate this as the problem was on their end. It wouldn't be fair if you ended up losing out.

What day was the October payroll OP?

It's a civil matter, the guards couldn't do anything to help OP even if they wanted to.

Quite right, the OP should be worried.

The good news is that the OP should be able to get all of the tax back, but with PAYE as far as I know, they're going to be looking at the salary owed coming through as a lump sum and the op will be paying the higher rate of tax on more of her wages across two months. It should balance out over the course of the year however, but some of it may need to be claimed back.

Maybe there's a way for them to register the payment as two/three months salary so that tax credits for each month are applied and so it's not treated as if it is one months salary.

I really don't know enough about it, but it's something the OP should look in to and maybe get some more information from the tax office about.

The payroll company should be able to run an emergency payroll, you will need to apply enough pressure to them through HR and your manager.

If they can't do that, I'd be looking for an immediate advance via cash or bank transfer which can be netted off against your next pay run.

Wonder if the OP got sorted........

They are taking the p!ss

Your boss should be on to them too trying to help get this sorted!!

I would walk into your bosses office or indeed someone more senior and ask them to intervene........then take a seat in their office while they make a call. Tell them you have rent, bills etc to pay.

or perhaps borrow a laptop from the office that would cover your expenses:p

Depending on banks it could take a day or two for funds to reach your account. Unless they've confirmed that they haven't sent the payment?

Could they possibly mean that the bank details they have for you are for a Canadian bank? Or that payroll think that you still work there? Did you work for this company back in Canada as well?

This makes no sense. Where you worked previously has no influence on you being paid for work done in Ireland unless you dont have an Irish bank account? I put an expense claim in where I work on Tuesday afternoon, usually these are paid monthly through payroll but as I done them a last minute favour and it was a large amount for me they put through a transfer. I had it by lunchtime Wednesday. There is no excuse for the lateness of this payment.

I'd be asking for cash. Your bosses can send someone to the bank to fetch it for you so you're not waiting three working days for a cheque to clear.

The funds might take a few days to clear, but even so, the OP should have received a payslip, IF they were on the payroll. If they haven't received a payslip, it seems to indicate that they're not on the payroll at all.

The priority for today should be to get a cheque issued now or an advance from petty cash. The postmortem can take place between now and the next pay run.

That's bollox: your tax credit cert from abroad is totally irrelevant here - except to Revenue who need to figure out what tax credits to apply to you for this year. My guess is that they'll put you on "week 1" (ie just tax you from now until December as though you don't have any tax credits from earlier in the year).

Next year, after you get issued your P60 for this year, ring up Revenue and ask for a balancing statement for 2015.

Also - keep a damn good eye on payroll. They've proven themselves to be incompetent liars, so look for evidence of anything they tell you in future.

OP are you sure they have you on the books? Not necessarily intentionally, it could be a mistake, but if you were on the books revenue would automatically send in your cert which would be imported into payroll. I'm sure lack of bank details would be noticed too.

It could be due to tax credits. Or you could be on week one etc. The easiest thing to do is to call revenue, find out your tax credits and if you are on week one or not. Then you can calculate your take home pay.
