Just to be clear - you told your employer on 21st December that you would be unable to work for the next few days (38 hours) and you still got paid in December for that 38 hours? I would imagine that is because they had run the payroll early for December and could not alter your hours worked for that month.
So in December you got paid for 38 hours you did not work.
And then in January they took the 38 hours pay out of your January salary.

How can you be broke? Did you spend the extra 38 hours salary assuming that they would not look for it back? Did it not occur to you to put it to one side and use it for the unpaid time in January?

OP i trust you didn't use your own name as a username & then come onto a public forum to criticise your employer. This is not the correct place to start this discussion, look up either the legal discussion forum or the work & jobs forum. Thread closed.
