Lost a weeks pay

[Otispunkmeyer]

As per a previous post, the company I work for was put into administration. Most people were let go but some of us were kept on. We've been kept on long enough that we are now under the stewardship and pay of KPMG the administrators.

But in the process of moving over to KPMG we seem to have lost a) remaining holidays (of which I had 6) and b) a whole weeks worth of pay, which means my pay cheque that I got today was only about 3/4 of what it usually is. Now I have enough money kept back such that this isn't going to affect daily life for the next month, but it is still a substantial sum to go missing.

Anyway the administrators don't really have an answer as to why but say we can either claim both back from the government if made redundant (and the government limit wont cover in full) or if the company is bought out, the new buyers will pay. However, having listened to what the potential new buyers want, they want everyone to be paid in full, remaining holidays included, before they take over.

Whether this will happen, I don't know. At the moment I feel like we're being stiffed over.

Any advice? am I likely to end up out of pocket here?
