Hi Everyone,
first of all, all help and advice will be greatly appreciated as there's a lot going on with this my situation.
so my fiancée works for a small local LTD company and has done for the past 3 years. on Wednesday the 17th September she was placed on suspension with full pay however she
- wasn't given a written letter to confirm this
- wasn't given a reason to why she was being suspended
- had her personal laptop taken off her (the company couldn't afford one so they asked her to use hers)
now on the 19th (friday) she hand delivered a letter to the company owner with a witness and a police officer (as a separate criminal charge is being brought against the company) which stated that she wished to discuss some grievances including the reasons for suspension and other things such as having no employment contract even though she requested it more than once.
from then she has played the waiting game to see if she
A. Gets her wages and
B. if the boss replies to the grievance
now I know that she has to wait 28 days from the start of the grievance which would place the date to get back or take it to a tribunal on the 18th of October however she also hasnt been paid her wages as of today (last day of the month). does this give her reason to claim constructive dismissal as the other employees got paid nearly a week ago and shes had no update about the suspension and no letter about the grievance.
My personal feeling is to drop off 3 letters tomorrow (on the 1st) which are for
1. grievance reminder as she is legally obliged to reply to
2. grievance about unfair suspension without updates
3. 100% unlawful deduction of wages to be paid within 7 days and with a letter explaining the reason for late wages.
then once the 28 days passes then log a complaint for constructive dismissal
I'm just looking to see what people make of the situation above and thanks for your time
