Document background
A Letter of Intent for Salary Claim is a crucial preliminary document used when an employee seeks to recover unpaid wages or salary in England and Wales. This document should be used when formal channels of communication have failed to resolve salary-related disputes, but before initiating legal proceedings. It typically includes specific details about the employment relationship, the amount claimed, the basis for the claim, and a clear deadline for response. The letter serves as evidence of the claimant's attempt to resolve the matter amicably and may be required to demonstrate compliance with pre-action protocols if the matter proceeds to an employment tribunal or court.
