Martin Lewis issues urgent warning to workers to cash in on £100s of unclaimed of pay
has issued an urgent warning to UK workers to cash in hundreds of pounds of unclaimed pay. The finance guru, from Manchester, warned workers that many may be missing out on due pay - and urged employees to redeem any unclaimed cash. Writing on his website, Money Saving Expert (MSE), the 52-year-old shared a story of how one 17-year-old part-time worker found themselves £240 out of pocket after discovering that they were owed hours of unclaimed holiday pay. Many part-time workers may not realise that they accrue holiday based on the number of hours they've worked. If this holiday - formally known as 'statutory annual leave' - is not claimed, employers are obliged to remunerate the balance for any unused entitlement. The post described how one Essex-born 17-year-old, Lola, had been working as a kitchen porter at her local pub for over two years before she was dismissed, the owners telling her they were having to cut costs. Her mother suggested she email the pub to request her holiday pay, and it was then that she realised she was owed £218 holiday pay, two years of backdated hours. Delighted by the result, she then contacted a cafe where she had worked a handful of shifts where she discovered she was owed an additional £23.87 - which added up to £240. Particularly for those who may have recently left a post, employees should ensure they check whether they are owed hours, and to redeem any unpaid pounds. First and foremost, employees should check whether their employment status entitles them to holiday pay, since it's not automatic for all. For instance, those who are self-employed are likely to miss out on holiday benefits. According to Martin, anyone who has received a pay slip is likely owed holiday. This is because it officially classifies them as an 'employee', which entitles them to those hours of paid leave. Workers should check their employment status and thoroughly read through their contract to double-check the terms of the job. In the UK, the legal minimum holiday is 5.6 working weeks of paid holiday per year, though it is up to employer's discretion whether they offer a higher holiday balance. For full-time working employees working five days a week, this will equate to around 28 days of leave. By the same measure, even those working just one day a week will equate to 11.2 days of holiday a year - which could amount to hundreds if not cashed in. Employers must make sure all holiday that is owed is issued to the relevant worker, meaning even parts of days must be offered, either in cash or by starting late or leaving early. According to Citizens Advice, holiday builds up at a rate of 12.07 per cent of hours worked for seasonal workers and those with irregular hours. It comes after the finance guru revealed how to find out if you're missing out on childcare savings. Speaking on The Martin Lewis Money Show Live, which aired in May, the finance expert revealed 800,000 parents in the UK are eligible for 'Tax-Free Childcare', but many are unaware. Under the government's 'working parents scheme', the state will pay parents back 20 per cent of childcare costs up to £500 a quarter - meaning some parents could get back £2,000 a year. Parents must be individually earning at least £850-a-month each to be eligible, and cannot earn more than £100,000 each. It only applies to children under 12, or under 16 if the child is disabled. 'If you're sending your kids to a holiday club with the school that's Ofsted-registered, you can utilise this,' he explained. Lewis also stated that he is currently 'lobbying' to change the 'hideously misnamed' scheme to 'Working Families Childcare Top-Up' arguing that 'it's framed much better' this way. The money saving expert added that those claiming Universal Credit, who are also working, can claim funds to help them with childcare costs.

War or peace? For oil markets, the Ukraine outcome is insignificant
LONDON, Aug 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's high-stakes diplomacy to resolve the war in Ukraine is unlikely to jolt oil and gas markets, no matter the outcome. Russia has faced multiple rounds of western sanctions and restrictions since its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which have dealt severe blows to the country's giant oil and gas industry, sapping Moscow of vital revenue and reshaping global energy markets. Russian gas now accounts for just 18% of European imports, down from 45% in 2021, while the bloc's oil imports from Russia have fallen to 3% from around 30% over that time. The European Union plans to fully phase out Russian energy by 2027. Meanwhile, India has increased its share of Russian crude to 38% of total imports from 16% in 2021, according to Kpler. China and Turkey have also notably ramped up their Russian oil purchases. The war in Ukraine has left over a million dead or wounded, so its conclusion would be welcomed by many. Energy markets, however, are not apt to register much of a reaction unless there is a full ceasefire along with the lifting of all U.S. and European sanctions. And that is long shot. Given the more probable set of scenarios, oil and gas markets are unlikely to be rattled by the fallout from either last Friday's disappointing summit between Trump and Russian President Valdimir Putin or the U.S. president's meetingwith his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European leaders on Monday. Full peace in Ukraine remains highly improbable. Trump's apparent support for a comprehensive settlement, rather than a ceasefire, has widened the gap between America, Ukraine and Europe. At the same time, his suggestion of U.S. post-settlement security guarantees for Ukraine is likely to face resistance from Moscow. In other words, don't bet on a full normalization of relations between Russia and the West any time soon. Trump might pressure Zelenskiy into accepting a temporary or partial halt in fighting. But even then, Europe is unlikely to resume Russian energy imports while Putin remains in power. Before 2022, Europe accounted for nearly half of Russia's 4.7 million barrels per day of oil exports and 75% of its gas exports, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The Trump administration could attempt to ease some sanctions unilaterally, but this could face opposition in Congress, including from Republicans, unless a broad peace deal is reached. Perhaps the more likely scenario – Trump failing to broker a deal – also shouldn't have a major impact on energy markets. The U.S. could tighten sanctions, particularly by targeting buyers of Russian energy, as Trump has already threatened. But the U.S. president said on Friday that he would delay so-called "secondary sanctions" on China due to what he described as 'successful' talks with Putin. Of course, India already faces secondary tariffs over its Russian oil purchases. Earlier this month, Trump announced a 25% tariff on Indian goods, citing the country's continued oil imports from Russia. The new tariff, effective August 27, will bring total tariffs on Indian imports to 50%. But even though Indian buyers already appear to be reducing their Russian oil purchases, the impact on global supplies has been minimal as China has increased its intake of Russian crude. Ultimately, China matters far more in this story, and it's unlikely to significantly curb its Russian oil imports, not least because it considers its relationship with Moscow to be strategic. Chinese and Russian oil producers, refiners and traders have already built a sprawling network of tankers and insurers to circumvent Western sanctions on Venezuela, Iran, and Russia. Additionally, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods already average 55%, according to the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Additional tariffs could raise costs for U.S. consumers, and Beijing could retaliate, potentially by withholding rare earths or other critical minerals, all outcomes Trump would want to avoid – and Beijing knows this. In short, Trump appears to have little stomach for the potential consequences, and even if he were to tighten sanctions, this likely wouldn't materially affect China's ability to import oil. Crucially, oil and gas markets appear to be entering a period of oversupply, meaning any possible disruption in Russian volumes can easily be offset. The IEA expects oil supply to exceed demand by 1.76 million barrels per day in 2025 and by 3 million bpd in 2026, driven by rising output from OPEC+ and the Americas. Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets are also expanding rapidly, with new supply coming online in the coming years across the U.S., Qatar, Canada, and elsewhere. LNG capacity is projected to grow from 500 million tons per year in 2024 to 800 mtpa by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. While Trump's foreign policy remains unpredictable, a few things seem clear. He can't, as he once claimed, end the Ukraine war in one day, and what he can do is unlikely to have much of an impact on oil and gas markets. Enjoying this column?
