    Resigning from job
    Hi so I am not comfortable at my job at all. The whole set up is dodgy and I discovered they paid me below minimum wage, they claimed they would try fixing that but I saw the manager wink to the supervisor so in sure they don't give a crap. Anyways it's boring and soul destroying so I want to leave. I can either speak to her face to face or write an email. What should I say in the email? Also am I Entitled to the wages I should receive for the hours I've done between my last payment and me quitting the job?

    You should be paid from your last wage to the last shift you leave, yes. You shouldn't really just "speak" to someone about it, I think just because of their possible ignorance you should go at it from every angle just to cover your own arse. Tell them, then hand a formally laid out letter stating your resignation and email a similar letter too.
    Make the letters formal: Mr/Mrs____ (boss' name), this letter is to state that I, __(your name)__ am officially handing in my resignation. I will be leaving two weeks from today, (the date you hand it in). I appreciate the job but I feel it is time for me to move on from this job. Thank you very much, kind regards, __(your name)__.
    That was from the top of my head, you coul google a resignation letter if mine isn't what you're looking for. I hope I've helped!

    AFAIK you're entitled to the shortfall from the minimum wage, also to payslips; which would prove the shortfall.

    There's even a government helpline http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Dl1/Directories/DG_177940

    I rang that number just before posting this thread they told me they could help me claim the difference but I just don't want to go through that hassle. Main thing I want is getting the wages from the hours I've done since the day I quit.
