A friend of mine was given notice when the franchise she worked for ceased trading in the local store.?

Although the company did not go into liquidation, she has still not received the 1 month's wages owed to her. How can she claim these. She has telephoned head office several times to no avail. Is there a government compensation scheme that she can claim from or should she take this firm to the small claims court to get her money. She is also still awaiting her P45
Answer:
The obvious solution is not to call them but to write to their head office clearly stating they owe monies out. Enclose hours worked or salaries due.

If you get no reply, write again stating you will be taking legal action against them to recover the monies owed, its a good thing for you're friend they havnt gone bankrupt, as the creditors are legally entitled to take their money 1st.

Should you still get no reply (and you should as at this stage its a bluffing game), then pass the information on to either a debt collection agency or take it to the small claims court with/without a solicitor (I find you dont need them at all).
she may get a cheque with her p45 but if not then yes take it up with the small claims court
Perhaps the CAB can help?
