So today I handed my bosses a letter saying that because my last pay cheque bounced that from now on I want to either be paid in cash or by direct bank transfer and also stated that they had done was a breach of the Payment of Wages act 1991.

They went nuts saying why didn't I phone them yesterday when my bank sent the cheque back and that I am ungrateful for what they have done for me, they then have the cheek to say that they don't complain when I don't bank a cheque for a week after receiving it and I shouldn't expect the funds to be available a week after the cheque is dated! They followed it up by saying that I should seriously think whether I want to stay with the company.

I replied that as they had never given me a contract of employment that I was covering my own back and doing things by the book. Although what I really wanted to say was I know your track record of going bankrupt and I don't want to be just another name on their creditors list when it all goes to court.>:XX

They then go on to say I should be grateful that I was given the job as I had taken 18 months off to have life saving brain surgery and that they were doing me a favour and I should be grateful for being allowed time off to go to hospital appointments, excuse me but isn't that my right??::

The fucking cheek, god they have wound me up so badly and the atmosphere in the office now is like a funeral, no-one talks to each other and I am not looking forward to Monday, that have yet to find out that I have reported them to the company president over in the American office!

Sorry, but I had to get that out of my system!

On the good side 3 agencies have contacted me today and out me forward for new jobs
