My son has finished with a company and they have not given h

My son is a carpenter, he worked for a company who sponsors the City it begins with (K) the long and short of it is he as only been payed half of what he is owed, is there anything he can do to get what moneys he is owed back?

Citizens Advice would be preferable, but depending on the amount he is owed, i.e. over £500, you could goto employment tribunal. But only use the tribunal as a last resort.

Firstly write to the company and outline what is owed and give 14 days to reply. Mention in the letter that if the amount remains outstanding after that time you will take the company to an Employment Tribunal to recover the money that is owed to you.

If they fail to pay or do-not repsond then download an IT1 form or submit your claim online.

You don't need a solicitor (you can go to Citizen's Advice but they are a bit hit and miss) but any competant individual should be able to go an ET give the Tribunal Chairman all the documentation and win hands down.

The chances are that once you have lodged your claim your ex-employer will contact you via ACAS with an offer to settle as ACAS nearly always advise companies that they should cough up any wages owed and avoid an expesive ET hearing.

You can go to the small claims court but that will involve court fees (unless the claimant is on Income Support) also you are liable for costs for the otherside if you lose. If you choose the Employment Tribunal route then no court fees are involved and each side is responsible for their own costs, unless the claim proves to be fraudulent or malicious.

He handed is notice in as the pay was shit, he was getting payed £60 for fitting a kitchen, travelling from Maesteg to Newport and not left with a lot after deductions, a better job came along in Bridgend so he took the oppertunity.

Thanks for all your help will pass it on to my son.

Your best option is for any corespondance between you and the company to go via the cab Reason being that way you have an offical record of what is said and when any thing thing is sent or recived But also quite often as soon as they know the cab are involved they will cough up
