Please help, i need legal advice..?

I have worked for the same company for just under 3 years. During last month i went full time with this company and have just been sent my contract through the post. The job salary was advertised as 拢12,689. After reading through my contract today the salary i would be signing to recieve is 拢12,269. Can they do this?


I would need to get a copy of the advertisement to prove this error, and i will confront them about it, but can anyone offer me legal advice if this is wrong, and the best places i could go to get this problem sorted.


Many ThanksPlease help, i need legal advice..?
Legally, there isn't an issue. There is no law which states that if a job is advertised as paying a certain amount then that's what they must actually offer that to the successful candidate. Salary details on advertisements are usually given for guidance, not with the intention that they're set in stone.





I would simply ask your manager about it. Perhaps it's only a typo anyway. If not, ask for you salary to be increased to the advertised amount. If they say no, then unfortunately you've got no recourse.





You do realise that, assuming we're talking about a full-time job here of 37.5 hours per week, you're arguing about 22p per hour?Please help, i need legal advice..?
Cari has said it all, spot on. talk to your employers they may have dropped the figure because of your experience levels etc... the salary is only binding on the company when you have signed the contract...not before.
