Question Summary:
Underpaid wages Question Detail:
The school where i work are not treating the staff properly, there is no ikram or anything what so ever.
When it comes to monthly wages some staffwho are family members of the people running the islamic school are getting higher wages then other staff.
The minimum wage all staff should be getting in England is £6.30 an hour, this is the rule of the government.
Yet they are paying me and other staff only £3.50 an hour.
We should be getting £605 a month but only get £360 a month.
On the wage slip i receive they show the government that i work 16 hours a week and get £400 a month but in actual truth i work 24 hours a week and get £360 a month.
The people running it are moulanas so i dont like disrespecting them.
Thee other staff also complain about this. They have talked to the headteacher about this issue, but they never take into consideration.
Allah also says in the 1st few ayats of surah mutaffifeen.
So mufti sahib what should i do regarding this issue?
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Your consideration for the honour and respect of the ‘Ulamā is highly commendable. We understand your concern about the salary you receive. However, for us to help you with your predicament, kindly provide the following information:
What were the terms of your employment at the time of entering into the contract with your employers? Did you willingly agree to the terms and the salary? Were you informed that your salary will be in accordance to what has been stated in the question and did you agree to that amount?
Information pertaining to salaries is termed as private and confidential. You have stated that some members of staff receive higher salaries than you do. How correct is this information and how did you get hold of such private information?
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
