Today's question is...I refused to work my two weeks' notice due to bullying at work by my manager. Now he is refusing to pay me for my last four weeks of work because of my refusal. Is he allowed to do this?ZippyAntony O'Loughlin, head of litigation and a director at Setfords solicitors, says in a word - no.
Through the service, ACAS will talk to both the claimant and the respondent about the dispute and give them a chance to come to an agreement without having to go to tribunal.'If all of this fails you may have potential claims you could bring in an employment tribunal or court for harassment and breach of the terms of your employment contract,' Antony says.'It's always good to put everything in writing and keep all evidence of your communications with the company.
