    Write a letter requesting immediate payment then propose employment tribunal for unpaid wages. They should not be withholding funds to you, we have a legal obligation to release funds upon receipt

    More worryingly is their total ignorance to their payroll department requesting my pay, be it by e-mail or by phone.
    Call them out on Twitter, use the #COVID19 hashtag.

    Companies have a tendency to reply to bad PR.

    Any other recommendations? Churchill-Knight, perhaps?
    For the back payment, I think others have recommended contacting safe collections.

    For going forward, there is a recommendation earlier on this thread. In fact, you could sign up with them and ask what they recommend about back payments.

    A sister company of Parasol. None for that group should be used - plenty of CUK warnings....

    started a topic Unreliable

    Unreliable

    I have gone to a well-known large umbrella company up in Warrington and they are not paying me. So much so that I have had to walk off the contract.

    Anyone know what I can legally do if they are refusing to pay me?

    My agent has sent over the money + VAT to them.

    When I try and contact them they have literally shut-up shop. They wont answer e-mails and phone calls just go straight to voicemail.

    I tell you what, this Corona Virus carry-on has given all companies, yes, ALL companies, a green light to drag their heels and not pay-up or give a service or product that you have paid for. Oh yes, they are all doing their bit on Linked-IN for PR and 'how they care' but in the background, they are not doing what they are paid to do.

    'Working from home'? Avin a larf - at our expense.

    MILKING IT.

Working...
