Not getting paid

Thanks everyone, I was disheartened and upset as its so close to Christmas and yes, twice is not on at all.
The manager is really nice and ive no doubt this was a mistake on his part and I will get what im owed. I went to him today and told him that I was really relying on my pay and have no other money. He agreed to write a check for two weeks pay so thats it sorted for now.
Thank for the advice.

You need to cash that cheque ASAP. And you need to make sure your Social Insurance has been paid.

Just because someone is nice, doesn't mean they won't do someone over. Just because someone promises something doesn't mean they will do it.

This is a business arrangement. You are exchanging your labour for his money. At the moment he has had your labour but hasn't paid you for it.

I'd be happier if the full four weeks arrears were paid in full by electronic funds transfer into my account. While a cheque is credited to your account when lodged, the amount can be debited again if the cheque doesn't clear.

Nice don't pay the rent!

That is YOUR money, no simple way of saying it...YOUR MONEY!

Work done, f**k you pay me!!

Didn’t mean to put you on the spot Mrs O’B. I’ve just always found your posts knowledgeable and to the point.

And a very good point you raise re a personal-v- corporate cheque. I completely agree re job hunting.

whats the craic with issuing a cheque ? Presumably you are paid into your bank, so why can’t this individual organize a transfer to your bank ? it will clear slightly quicker and save you the trip to the bank...they fućk up and as a result in the middle of a pandemic you are queuing in a bank because of their incompetence... if it happens again I’d be escalating to the most senior manager going, fûck HR.... once is bad form, twice careless, three times just a gigantic incompetent piss take... to be honest if I was a senior manager and my employee or employees were responsible for somebody not being paid... first time.. verbal, second time written warning, third time... goodnight..

What size of a company is this? Messing around with salary like this is a massive red flag. I'd be looking elsewhere, it doesn't sound like this company is liquid

Thanks everyone, he's not a dangerous person and he is making PRSI returns, to be honest I dont think he has any control over that, he simply puts all the staffs names into the computer and the payment sector deal with it from there. He just forgot to put my name in but all is sorted now and im sure it wont happen again, if it does, ill have words with him. Thanks again everyone for the replies.

Sorry but that is not on. I have been a small business owner a few times and if I ****ed up paying one of my lads even once I would have met them, immediately, with my own cash. Putting up with not being paid for over a month and then getting just a fraction of what you are owed....? If you don't mind me asking, OP, are you quite young/is this your first job?


Edit: I would echo (and I appreciate this is an easy thing for a randomer on the internet to say, but seriously..) the advice to look for alternative employment. A boss's primary concern is making sure his people are paid on time, what they are owed. If not GTFO

You base that on this thread?

Wow.


Did you even bother to read the final post of the op or just jump in with an utterly ridiculous ASSumption?

I read the first post and replied. Jesus your life must be pretty miserable if that's your response to a post :eek:

So you can tell the financial health of a company by a couple of posts and the poster accepting it was an error.

As I said Wow!

I'd say something else regarding your post, but would probably banned

I think you need to read my post again. I said what it looked like to me. I’m not really sure why that triggers you so badly that you’re worried about getting banned. Seems a tad of an over reaction 🀷*♂️

I left a company 3yrs ago, due to this and guess what? There's nothing you can do about it. That's straight from a WRC adjudicator's mouth. This happened 3 times on a monthly salary with me, and I had to wait a week each time, then the company put out an email telling us that if THEY made a mistake from then on, we'd have to wait until the END of the following month to be paid. Their big excuse was because their wages were processed in England they couldn't exchange info due to GDPR.

Companies in the ROI get off with a litany of crap. I had to jump through hoops to save my credit rating due to missed mortgage payments etc. My advice is get out of it and find another job.

I’m willing to bet, nobody in payroll saw a ‘letter of concern’ get added to their file let alone disciplined.

If GDPR is an issue, I’m not sure it should have been though... they need to outsource the Irish payroll to Ireland to get processed and so that any errors, discrepancies or indeed systematic incompetence as in this cases(s) can be handled with proper two way communication that leads to an effective, efficient resolution for the employee.

No good in telling somebody... “ yes we fûcked up, underplayed you by xxx amount but we can’t talk to you about it, neither are we going to rectify it till next months paycheck.“

Irish companies or companies IN Ireland do get off with a litany of crap. Ever ask yourself why so many multinationals set up here ? Sure, the highly educated and industrious workforce is a reason, low corporation tax too but let’s not kid ourselves... the almost non existent employment law, a Labour court / WRC that only really the employer needs to manipulate and whom are loathed to ever take a black and white legal view or determination... for upsetting the apple cart.
