Leaving work without giving notice

[Wafty Cranker]

Hi

I've not gone back into work after the weekend. I've only been working for them since October, while I've been there they've sacked 3 people and 3 others have walked out (There's now only 4 people left in the office)

I still speak to one of the girls in the office, and she said they are planning to send me a solicitors letter. It's a bit of a tin pot outfit, I never signed a contract and I've never even given them my address or phone number.

I'm 90% it's just the boss talking bollocks, but realistically is there any action they can take against me?

Unless you have company property there is nothing they can do- they also have to pay you for any hours worked. The only thing, I think, is to not pay any accrued holiday pay.

I'm not sure how you were working without a contract??

They only thing they could possibly send a solicitors letter to you over is if you used up holidays (& were paid for them) that you hadnt earned?

For example if you get 24 day paid holiday a year, you have taken 24 of them & been paid for them but not worked a full year, if you see what I'm getting at?

I also think that by law you have to have an NI number.Thats why youngsters who are leaving school have their NI number sent out months in advance.
Do they have that info.from you !!
How were you paid ?? Cash in hand,monthly via Bank ??

If you signed no contract theres nothing whatsoever they can do to you, they have nothing that could stand up in the court for anything. Chances are if your job was cash in hand and not self employed they probably skimped on NI contributions anyway so its them that are in trouble not you.

Tell them that they'll be hearing from your solicitor first, that'll shit 'em up.

not sure they can take you to court? But if he wanted to be a wanker he could hold your pay back?

Where is it you work? sounds like somewhere I use to work?

Thanks for the replies.

They did have my NI number and I was paid into my account. Altough I know they have not being paying the PAYE to the inland revenue.

I got paid just before the bank holiday, so I'm paid up to date. In terms of holiday days, they probably owe me a few days but I'm not arsed about that.

The only compnay propery I have is a set of office keys.

I'd wait for the letter then send one back asking for a copy of your signed contract
