This is the email if anyone would wish to read what they have said…
Thank you for your email. As you can imagine, there has been a great deal to do as 3DP ceased to trade as at 31 May 2011.
With regard to your salary payments, I have been trying to establish what happens with you concerning your maternity pay. As 3DP is no longer trading I am assuming that rather than receiving maternity pay, you will now be entitled to maternity allowance. Unfortunately, I do not know who would be the best person for you to speak to. Suggestions would be the tax office, your local benefits office or possibly your health visitor. I am sorry not to be of more help. If you require a letter from me let me know and I will write one for you – just let me know the details.
I will be running a payroll for (name removed) this week. She will be paid from the new company which is currently being set up. It is called 3 Dimensional Print Solutions Ltd. The reason for the delay is two fold. We have had to open a new bank account – and that has taken rather longer than we had planned. Secondly, I will need to treat you as new employees of the new company. This requires me to set up new payroll records for you all within the new company. I have been waiting for the appropriate information from our accountant in order for me to do this. I shall be sending you some forms which will require completion by you. Whilst I have this information as you were previously employed by the 3DP, I have to obtain it from you for the new company. It is as if you have gone to work for another company and they would require you to give certain information.
I can only apologise for any upset and inconvenience this has cause you or Wendy. I am doing my best to sort everything out as soon as I possibly can.
sounds abit fishy to me ?
so should we be contacting HMRC?
