In January I returned from Mat leave. At the end of the month I went to get some money out of my bank on payday to find nothing in my account. I rang HR who told me I'd have to wait til monday when someone would get back to me. I waited for a phone call on monday, no one bothered ringing me so I rang in. After a lot of buck passing and being told it was an error with my bank, someone finally bothered to look at my payslip and told me the company was trying to clawback all of my maternity pay. They would ring head office and get back to me. No one got back to me. I rang head office at 4.50pm and got it sorted out, apparently it was a 'system error', and my pay would be in my account the next day. It was.
BUT, I never received an amended payslip. I need the payslip showing the correct pay in order to claim maternity allowance from the govt (I'm pg again!), they will only accept originals. My company will not give me an original. The pillock in head office was really rude and refused to do anything to help me. It's not like I've lost the original payslip and need another, the only payslip I have for the month shows me nearly £3000 in debit to the company. I need to send in my best payslips in order to claim as much mat allowance as possible. The difference will not amount to hundreds of pounds.
I've no idea what to do next, I'm thinking about complaining but I'm so stressed out I can't think straight, and I'm not sure it would make any difference anyway... I hate my job!!
