Today's sad CEA update ...
Left it as late as possible today before enquiring whether there had been any progress. Apparently my forms were completed by the HR people yesterday (very kind, and I am genuinely grateful - though I can't for the life of me imagine why it was necessary).
The forms were faxed to JPAC, but there were so many from all over the country that the whole thing ground to a halt and no-one knows whether my info was actually input to the compooter in time for the Pay Run. It would seem that I am one of very many in a similar position.
Don't worry, says HR, there's another pay run on 20 Sep 06 - not worried says I, Staish has told me to come and get a cheque from you instead. That'll be £12,262 please.
Has anyone ever taken the Service to the Small Claims Court?
