Dispute over being paid on time
I have been working for a company for 18 months, and over the last 6 months or so there has been issues with all staff being paid on time.
We are all paid by cheque...now it does state in our contracts that we will be paid by the 6th of every month but it also states that the company reserves the right to change the date at any time.
The problem is that our boss is the only one who can sign our cheques, and he very rarely come into the office, I bank with Halifax and it takes 3 working days for my wages to clear. Already it is too late for my wages to clear in time for the 6th.
Is there nothing we can do to ensure we get our wages that we have worked hard for all month? I've had to change all my direct debit set ups already its just annoying that our employer cant be bothered to come to the office to sign our cheques.
