Hi, I hope this is the right forum. My situation in a huge nutshell is this
I was employed for the guts of ten years in this particular construction company. My employer was as dodgy as they come rarely did we get payslips, no contract of employment in place and avoided paying the employee's pension contributions.
In August '08 I was involved in a car accident on way to work which literally put me on my back for 6 months im still out due to my injuries. Up until February '09 I had been chasing my Employer for holiday pay owed and for mortgage insurance forms to be filled out but was constantly fobbed off. March arrives and I am informed by a co-worker that he and the others have been made redundant.Alarm bells are ringing so i try again to contact my employer but again no luck.Im pretty angry at this stage so i go to my local citizens information office to get help, I'm put in touch with a local councillor who eventually got my employer on the phone and was told that he would sort me out with everything P45, P60, redundancy etc. A month passes, nothing.
Angrier still i called into another Citizens information centre who sent him some letters requesting my employer to inform them of his status and that one of his employee's is fairly miffed!! Again nothing for i months until last week the citizen info. officer rang me to tell me that my employer had informed him that he had heard nothing from me since my accident and had assumed i left the company, also that i never sent him sick certs!!
The citizens info. officer said that i would'nt have much of a case due to the fact that i did'nt send my employer sick certs. My employer never paid sick leave in the decade that i worked for him i wouldnt know what a sick cert was if i saw one!! Surely this guy cant get away with what he's doing to me.
Sorry for the spiel but im very frustrated with this situation any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Thornley
