PMC ESTATES / PMC MARKETING SOLUTIONS Rakesh Sharma AKA Mike Jaitley - A warning for anyone considering working for this person or doing business with him - Maidenhead Interent

I was employed by PMC Marketing Solutions between May 2008 and August 2008. On the day I returned from holiday, I was told by Mr. Sharma that I was no longer required within the business. He couldn’t provide any specific reasoning why nor undertook any formal disciplinary proceedings. At that point I was still due to be paid for working in July. He advised that he would sort everything so he could provide my final pay and the P45 all in one go.

After numerous calls chasing up my pay during the next few weeks, he asked me to leave it with him and not to bother him. After not hearing anything from him, I wrote to him raising particular grievances with him and if I didn’t hear from him within the appropriate period, I would be taking him to tribunal. Whilst I was waiting for his response, I contacted the company’s book-keeper who would be responsible for the company’s payroll. During my conversation with her, she advised that for July and August my name was not included on the payroll and therefore it could be deduced that Mr Sharma had no intention of paying me at all.

Based on that evidence I started tribunal proceedings. During that time, Mr Sharma moved to his most recently known business address in Lower Cookham Road in Maidenhead. As a result of the office move, the Tribunal Service reissued papers to the new address and moved the respond date a month later than originally scheduled. His response was subsequently struck out by the tribunal judge as being insufficient. The tribunal took place in March 2009 but neither he nor any of his representatives attended. The tribunal decided in my favour and awarded me approximately £3100 for unpaid earnings, unpaid notice period and failing to provide an acceptable contract of employment. He was given 42 days to pay up – but there was no response from him.

After that period ended, I started County Court proceedings against him and obtained a County Court Judgement against him and also subsequently obtained a Warrant of Execution against him at his home address. From August until I heard that he had declared himself bankrupt last month, Court appointed bailiff’s were regularly visiting his home but have been unsuccessful.
