Its written into our contracts that it can be deducted from the final salary payment. 

 

Any remaining balance (if they refuse) can be processed through small claims with minimal effort and £30-£80 legal costs 

 

Ahh makes sense, sounds like a good system 👌

Have you ever done that, and managed to enforce judgement?

 

I think your skillful in in hiring the right people to start with!

Na but have for a non paying customer. Wasn't too bad, all done online and settled in arbitration 

 

Most lose their bottle well before court once I start sending the legal letters via higgins. 

 

Can't rate them enough. Used them on a dodgy builder 2 months ago who I thought got on with me really well and was loaded but just simply ghosted me when it came to payment. 

 

Sent a late payment demand with added compensation and interest, was in my account the day they recived the letter, including my costs and above charges. Unreal. After 2 months of waiting 

 

So would do the same if it was an ex employee, not that any of my guys are like that.

A customer with a a house is much easier to enforce judgement against than an ex employee with no assets save their car.  You’d end up being paid something stupid like £30 per month after a lot of effort!

 

Higgins do a pretty good scare-o-gram. I remember one dodgy builder of my own- sent me a message saying ‘I’ll pay it this afternoon- call off the dogs lol!’  No good for serial non payers however.
