arg!! RAnty rant rant!!!
The Red Cross have fouled up so instead of paying me for the work I did last month they paid it to another member (wtf!!!!) Rather than pulling the money back off that member adn paying me a day or so late they are (drum roll) going to pay me this time’s money in with next times meaning it will go over the threshold for national insurance so I lose out, adn the person who has my money will have it offset against future earnings so whist some lucky git got my nearly £200 as an "advance of pay" in effect, I’m nearly £200 down until this time next month, therefore I’m now £100 behind my budget rather than the £100 ahead taht I should be, hence paying interest on £100 more than I should be and so on….. Rather tempted to charge them interest…..
Argh nightmare! And they’ve not even made up for the nightmare by dealing with it and putting it right

Jusst tell them it isn’t acceptable, in the words you’ve used here and tell them either they sort it out or you take legal advice.
I’m sure what they’ve done isn’t allowed.

You know Merry, I think I might just do that! Sadly it’s a common cock up with the incompetent oiks that do payroll for the “casual staff” (oi, we’re the serfs wot pay your wages goon!) and it’s not all that unusual for non of us to get paid and get a double hit the next month at which point it then costs the society £££ as they have to pay employers NI contributions and give us an expenses credit to the value of hte NI we pay seeing as it’s their fault we got charged it (non of htat made sense did it???)
and it’s not illegal as we don’t have a contract as such, we are volenteers (the lowest form of life in a charity…) who just happen to do a few bits that pay expenses (like 12 hour days at Oulton for the princely sum of £30)
I’ve not calmed down yet have I???
