Why are you looking under the consumer section? Since you are an employee, you should be reading the work fact sheets, at http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/work_e/work_factsheets.htm http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/work_e/work_factsheets... . The specific one is "Employer withholds your pay", at http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/e_employer_withholds_your_pay.pdf http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/e_employer_withholds_y... . They don't have a sample letter for that case, such a letter is straight-forward: "I have not yet received my salary for the period XXX to YYY. I trust this grievance will be fixed quickly and amicably now that I have brought it to your attention." That's all - no threats of legal action (because they better know that already, and if they don't, that's their problem, not yours), no threats of personal retribution or revenge (because that's a VERY BAD IDEA). Ah! See also http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/work_e/work_problems_at_work_e/letter_to_raise_a_grievance_at_work http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/work_e/work_problems_a... for longer text, though not specifically for this case. It then has a fill-in-the-fields form to guide you through the letter making. You still have plenty of options to pursue besides talking to a solicitor. Have you contacted your local CAB, or the other options I mentioned earlier? That fact sheet mentions Acas. They say "Call our Helpline on 0300 123 1100 for free support and advice or to check your workplace policies and practices. The Acas Helpline provides free and impartial advice for employers, employees and representatives on a range of employment relations, employment rights, HR and management issues." http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1461 http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1461 See also http://www.acas.org.uk/media/pdf/h/b/Problems_at_work_-_employees.pdf http://www.acas.org.uk/media/pdf/h/b/Problems_at_work_-_empl... for their description of how an employee can handle a grievance. Another option is to visit your local library and talk with a librarian to see what resources they have.
