I haven’t been paid for the homework I’ve done. What should I do?

You must be paid for work you have done. If you are not paid for the work, you can bring a claim to an employment tribunal for the money you are owed. If you are in this situation, you should seek advice immediately as there are strict time limits on taking a claim to a tribunal.

The National Group on Homeworking (NGH) may be able to assist, sometimes by negotiating with your employer, or by helping you to apply to a tribunal or to the small claims court to recover unpaid wages. Your union will be able to help if you are a member, or an advice agency such as the local Citizens Advice Bureau.
