Employment Lawyer - Letter

[theboycj]

Hi all

A friend of mine is having difficulties with a boss, or ex-boss, of hers who has not paid up monies owed to her from her last few months salaries. She is bringing a small claims court challenge to said ex-boss but wanted to see if anyone could advise on if they knew any reputable solicitors/lawyers who could help by writing a letter informing her ex-boss of this in an effort to deal with this out of the courts?

Any advice would be welcomed!

Has she contacted ACAS? http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1461

If by small claims you mean employment tribunal I think all cases have to go through ACAS for pre claim conciliation now anyway.

Hope helpful.

I defintely recommend having a chat with ACAS. They will be able to help and offer mediation services too.

Will definately take the ACAS comments on board!

Acas are really helpful, and may also give you key phrases etc to use - they gave me a lot of information and help that I was not expecting.

But is it an employment matter or simply breach of contract; wages unpaid?
