i need some advice, about a year and a half ago me and a my work colleagues signed up for monthly pay, as we were at that time getting 4 weekly pay.
we were told by our manager that we would get payed on the 27th of each month and if it fell on a sunday or bank hol we would get it earlier.
we didnt have to sign up but it was made to sound so good.
as i work school term time only we get a retainer for the hols (half pay) we were told that this would be calculated for the year and we would get the same pay every month.
at the time it sounded brill, but as soon as it started it all went to pot.
my first experience of it was that our pay fell on a Sunday the following day was a bank holiday and we didn't get payed till the Tuesday! and thats how its been ever since, last month pay fell on a sunday and we had to wait till monday to get it. when we contacted our pay dept they told us that this is how it was going to be + we stil dont get the same pay every month.
what are my rights here, i spoke to the union a few months ago they said they would look into it, i phoned our rep recently but he was off sick.it really doing my head in as last month i wanted to do something on Sunday as i was on hols but had no cash. :-(
i work for a local authority if it helps.
