Son Not Been Paid

[Smowball]

Son got a job with a roofing company just under a months ago. It’s away from home mon - fri. Meant to be paid weekly but so far he hasn’t been paid a penny! None of them have. The guy comes out with excuse after excuse. Yesterday he promised faithfully that they would get paid today but they get to the site and he’s got another excuse. The guys have chatted together and said they can’t carryon like this and are going to quit, but how on earth do they get their money?? Is there anyone specific they can ring?

Glliver //undo all the work they have done.//
That would leave them open to a charge of criminal damage.

the builders I know would have hung the guy up from the scaffold by his toes!

Then they would have got done for assault and still not have their money

I thought he was a paramedic or is there more than one son?

[tiggerblue10]

Did he sign an employment contract with the building company?

[barry1010]

Makes no difference, Tigger. There is supposed to be a written contract of employment but lack of one does not mean that there is not a contract in the eyes of the law

I've seen reports of builders undoing work they've done when it became clear that they weren't going to be paid. As far as I know no charges of criminal damage resulted from their actions.

That's usually when the building boss hasn't been paid by the building owner, not when the employees haven't been paid by the builder. I don't whoever owns the building would just shrug his shoulders about his property being damaged especially if he has paid the builder
