Hi All,

I left my job under very "interesting" circumstances (long story short
I was bullied out of a job).

I recieved my final pay cheque and they had deducted 2 days pay. When I
enquired as to why this was there they informed me that it was a mixup
and that I was owed that back those days + 13 extra days I had
remaining on from my holiday pay.

The problem I have is they're refusing to pay them until the next pay
day, which is in a months time.

Considering they made a mistake here are they legally required to pay
me this now or can they get away with this treatment.

They're legally required to pay it as soon as practically possible. But,
given that if you were to take any kind of legal action against them for
non-payment it would take a lot longer than a month to get your money,
the point is somewhat moot. In any case, they have a fair argument that
including it in the next scheduled payment run is as soon as is
practically possible. Having to wait a month is annoying, but there's
nothing you can really do about it.
