My husband is an owner driver in trucking industry. He has given 2 weeks notice to end the contract but the employer asks for 30 working days notice. He has sold the already and cannot work more to satisfy their notice terms. My husband doesn’t has the contract papers as the employers have taken them initially and never returned.

In trucking industry the employer will hold initial 2 week’s pay and start paying only after 2 weeks. Now, when my husband leaves the contract his 4 weeks pay will be with the employer.

Is the employer entitled to say they cannot pay my husband’s 4 weeks pay which he has worked for?

Thank you.
