Will my backdated pay rise be paid?
Discussion
Hi all, I hope someone can can give me an answer as I don't know where to find it...
The company I work for have two weeks ago, agreed a pay rise with the staff, to be backdated to April 1st. The payment has not yet been paid and as I am about to give a week notice to leave I'm wondering if they're obliged to pay it if I haven't received it by the time I leave.
Hopefully someone can clear it up for me

What did the department responsible for paying staff at the company tell you when you asked them?The company I work for have two weeks ago, agreed a pay rise with the staff, to be backdated to April 1st.

I know that if somebody was leaving I wouldn't pay the back pay. From the company's point of view there is nothing in it for them?
The larger the corporation the more chance of getting paid I'd guess. As already said, only somebody who makes/authorises the payments can say!
Good luck!

Good luck!Why do you say that? If its a salary recalculation and its on work carried out over previous months it certainly should be paid. Glad I don't work for you...

How was this pay rise agreed?Are you in a union environment? Did you get a formal letter confirming said pay rise? Or have you been informed verbally?
If it was verbal, it's perfectly possible to say you are excluded. If you have had written confirmation then it's more likely that you'll get it as back pay.
However, first port of call is HR. Don't assume they are going to shaft you until they give you information which makes you think you're being shafted....

The default position is you are entitled to it unless you have agreed otherwise.The company I work for have two weeks ago, agreed a pay rise with the staff, to be backdated to April 1st.

Brilliant, thankyou!Haven't mentioned it to line manager as I haven't mentioned about my plans just yet.
The rise was agreed via a Ballot organised by the union so yes it's written down and formalised...
Why do people feel the need to to be the smartass?

If only the company that you work for had an HR person/department who would be able to answer this for you...
I haven't been a permie for a long time, but one place I worked insisted on your final payment being in the form of a cheque. You had to sign a piece of paper saying they didn't owe you any more money before they would give you the cheque.
I'm sure things have moved on but be careful about signing any exit paperwork until you've got the cash in the bank.

If only so many posters here were not dicks, eh?
We dont know the company they are working for and we dont know the policy they have in place.Every single answer on here is a guess. The only place they are going to get the actual answer from is their HR dept or line manager.
Can understand not wanting to alert line manager you’re about to leave.
But to me question to ask/ clarify is when is the back-dated pay rise going to be paid ?
If this month just wait to 1st December then hand in notice.
If not this month, could get complicated, but being ‘unionised’ you should still get it even if they’re planning to pay it next month, or later.

All the companies I've worked for wouldn't entertain the idea of withholding backdated pay just because someones leaving. The miniscule amount the company stands to save will easily get wiped out by employee badwill (they always find out!) and stand to lose a whole lot more if it goes legal.
I've largely worked in finance in FTSE 100 companies but since contracting I've worked in £15m TO companies and even at that size they're wise enough to know it's just not worth pishing around for peanuts.... That is of course unless you've really rubbed someone very senior up the wrong way
Also to follow up presumably the company would have issued an email or letter regarding delaying the annual pay review? Save or get a copy of that and also save the correspondence about the recent confirmation of backdated pay award.
If you've got those then don't feel you need to hold off handing in notice until it's been paid as they'll be obligated to pay if confirmed. It's not like bonuses which are surrendered when you hand in your notice.
