    Giant have reduced my wages by £30 a week..HELP!!!

    Hey guys, pretty new to using forums but i really need some advice. The weekly net pay i get from Giant has been reduced by £30 a week even though what i am earning gross hasn't and my tax code is still the same. Any ideas as i can't get a straight answer from them??

    We would need to see payslips to answer. I'll happily look at them quickly offline if you - understandably - don't want to post them here.

      What answer do they give? Keep banging on their door till they give you one? It is a bit hard for us to comment from this alone really.

        The only thing other than tax code or gaps in payment which will affect take home on the same gross is expenses claimed - are they the same each week/month??

                I didn't think that anyone else was still doing that but I suppose it could be Sally - can't see why it would cause a drop in pay only in recent weeks though

                  True Lisa. The initial idea for introducing it was to cover just pay periods to retain sufficient to cover a 4 weeks claim after 12 qualifying weeks (and correct me if I'm wrong as I'm out of brolly now) and it would have started from the first pay slip.

                    Yes, exactly and as the OP said that the net has reduced from previous payslips I am inclined to think that it's something else
