I wonder if I could ask one of the experts a question.
My eldest was working in the Bull ring for the Love Juice. He had not collected his wages for a couple of months as he had broken his hand and was on Stat sick pay. He went to collect his wages only to find that the company had ceased trading and had gone bust.
He has been thinking each week that he is going to be paid which has not happened after 3 weeks of him hoping. From being a member on here I thought that once insolvency proceedings had started the company's assets were frozen and that workers who were owed wages would just become another unpaid creditor and therefore would not be paid. He is reluctant to go on benefits but I don't think he has any choice.
Can anyone clarity so that I can give him some advice?
thank you honey, he is fine. It is his first job serving fresh fruit drinks. He got his degree and hopes to get a proper job soon so this is just temporary financial set back. He also had his cast off this week and is getting work at the local cricket club for the season. He has done really well to be honest I went to his degree ceremony yesterday. I just want to give him the facts rather than him just hoping for his money.
If the company has gone into liquidation, he can claim for his unpaid wages from the government's National Insurance fund. if you know which company is dealing with the liquidation, ask them to send him a claim form - and if you cannot find them contact me off-forum and I will send you one in the post with some informatory booklets which will tell him what he is entitled to claim.
Shame about the job, but I hope he finds something else soon.
Nice to see you again. Hope you and the family are well.
Sorry that your son has lost his job, hopefully he can get another one soon and I hope he gets his wages sorted out.

Thank you so much Melanie, I knew you would be able to help. He knows the liquidation company, we will phone for a form tomorrow.
I am very well thank you, I am sure Matthew will get something else quite soon. I am very pleased to hear that he will get his wages at some point, at least that will solve his immediate financial mess.
Glad you are well Lily - at least your son can get himself sorted out now.
How are the cats?
