Areas of Law / Employment

My wife has recently finished work and her employer is refusing to pay her several sums of money she’s owed, including a week’s holiday pay. How do we go about making him pay up?

Your wife should use the firm’s grievance procedure to claim her money in the first instance. This involves writing to the employer stating why she thinks she has been underpaid, and should be followed up by a face-to-face meeting. She then has the right to appeal against her employer’s decision. Only after she has been through this procedure can she claim the unpaid wages at the employment tribunal. She will have to provide evidence of the underpayments, so hopefully she has kept her pay slips.
