Hi.
I sued my ex-employer for underpayment and won in a local magistrates court via an employment claim. Self-represented. Court order in my favour.
The employer ordered to pay an amount within 14 days, then 2 other amounts monthly over the following 2 months.
The employer is refusing to pay electronically and is going to send a cheque for the first installment that will no doubt take a week to clear, meaning I will not have access to the money on the day I'm supposed to be paid pursuant to the court order.
Is this legitimate under employment law? Is there anything I can do to force my ex-employer to pay electronically?
Also, I've spent 2 days via email asking my ex-employer why he wants my residential address. He said, "Receipt". I asked what the receipt was for. He wouldn't say, but said he would just send it to my last known address. I told him I no longer live there. Then he finally admitted he was sending a cheque. Talk about being difficult!! This is why I'm asking the question above.
