Q: I have been experiencing ongoing issues with my employer with regards to business expenses. I have around £2,000 outstanding to be paid and I have been either paid late or small amounts very infrequently. I wrote to my employer back in September and they gave written assurances that they would pay and that the expenses would be cleared by February. Payment was made in October and November, but December arrived and only a very small payment was made. Since then nothing more has been received. I am very concerned that my salary for this month will not be paid. What should I do about this situation?
A: You could potentially look to raise a grievance to your employer on grounds of unfair deduction of pay from your salary. If your employer fails to respond then you may look to pursue this issue at the County Court.
