Got a job that I left after 2 days driving a skip wagon which I was trained on for the 2 days.
Company that I worked for will not pay me for them days and has made up a story saying if you leave before a week as they trained me they do not have to pay me.
Sent them a letter requesting payment.
got an invoice back for 360 quid for training cost for the 2 days lolz.
I understand they are ■■■■■■ but why lie about it?.
Talked to acas and it comes down to money and time of which I don’t have.
Heads up to anyone else going for a job the says don’t worry as full training will be given, ask if it is free and get it in writing.
No stress or hassle needed. Did you ever see a contract? If you did, tell them you want paying for your work. Ask them to also show you where in the contract theres a severance fee for training.

No contract seen they said in the invoice the training fee was discussed/agreed in the interview, nothing was.
What sort of training did you receive?Any dead time in the yard or office? If it was ‘on the job’ did it decrease the lorry’s revenue because you were being trained? I’m just wondering
how/why they arrived at £360.Surely they have to justify that in detail and prove that you agreed to it.
They still have to pay you for the 2 days as its a separate matter from the training even though they’re counter-claiming the cost and that comes to more than the wages.

Was on the job training, showing me how to pickup and drop/tip skips as id only ever done rollon offs/hook loaders.
360 was 150 pound a day training plus vat.
Had a text before I wrote the letter to them in response to my text for the 2 days pay saying no payment due as the training days are unpaid unless I work for at least a week to cover the cost of training.
And this job is on the job centre website and is doesn’t state anything about training costs.

Did you drive a truck fitted with a digi for the 2 days? If not it would be pretty hard to prove you ever worked there with no contract in place. Plus it would cost you a bit to recover the money. Anyway, what was so stressful about the 2 days if you were on training?
Two days training ? how long does it take to learn what lever to pull/push and to ask …'Where you want this skip mate?
two days training versus two days working IMO cancels each other out, so move on and forget it.
