      Thank you. Really appreciate the tip. I actually went to look at gov.uk. I'd best get started then.

      Thanks

        I went to the Employment Tribunal website and it says I have to go first to ACAS. I guess I'll start there, unless you have any other insights? Thanks again

          Speak to a solicitor - the first call should be free.

            I would have thought any company handling such large sums on money would have insurance in place for these things. Since this has just happened, clearly it will take a few days ( if not weeks) for them to come up with a plan to reimburse their employees.

              As a complete aside, you can often bypass this kind of thing by adding a period/full stop after the domain name part of the URL, i.e. after "com" in this case:
              https://www.computerweekly.com./news...ed-data-breach

              Something to do with not blocking search engines or summat, it works on quite a lot of sites.

                  Yep - easiest way to get past a Javascript enforced paywall is via the Bypass Paywalls browser extension.

                  bypass-paywalls-chrome/README.md at master · iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome · GitHub

                  And given that they are using browser side Javascript to restrict access I have zero qualms in using it to bypass stupidity.
