ryaldinhio 4,688 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 how do you know there are plans to employ agency drivers? they cannot make you, or a position redundant, then employ someone else to do it for a period of time, i think 9 months. that will be why its this way instead of redundancies. work out your redundo add a bit on and take it to go quietly and get a job elsewhere.

mushroom 13,186 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 If this is a charity then you need to record everything because you can not only get a decent pay off (and some) for constructive/unfair dismissal. You will be able to put a complaint into the charities commission and also go public with how this witch CEO has treated her staff to protect her salary Doesn't matter if it's true it's how it will look 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greengrass 202 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 The charity has 2 shops and four vans on the road, just off the top off my head since she started she has gone through 8 drivers, and a similar number of van assistants. What she's wanting in my opinion, is volunteers who they pay £7 a day !!! Yes you read it right, come in and volunteer, humping wardrobes and whatever else up 2 or 3 flights of stairs for 7 hours a day and at the end of the day they,ll hand you £7.

Greengrass 202 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Quick update on what happened today at our hearings, I got a written warning for standing around when furniture could have been moved around in the store ??? The other two drivers got nothing although one of their assistants was sacked for the same thing as myself, it also looks as if my van assistant might be gone as when the first guy got sacked he was assured that he was,nt the only one losing his job, how the f**k can someone get sacked for standing around when there is not a lot to do ???, personally I think this is just the start of it as they have dug out certain indivuals, I d like to say I,m happy with the outcome but I,m not....hate to see anybody losing there job, and they are two good young boys that have been sacked, OK they have a bit nonsense in their heads now and then but what youngsters don't ? I,ve said to the fella that got sacked today that he must go to an employment lawyer as he surely has a massive case against the charity, no warnings etc and then a straight dismissal. Can,t. Be right surely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tilimangro 1,013 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 They can sack you with no warnings off you haven't been employed for two years or it's a serious offence Sounds like they need to make cuts and are coming up with excuses Fight it all the way mate and make sure the others do 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taz2010 1,297 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 im a senior site manager and we have to give 2 verbal warnings before a written warning,bit harsh he could have given all of you a verbal bit over the top Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryaldinhio 4,688 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 They can sack you whenever for whatever without any warnings if they want. The only difference it makes is the strength of your case in a tribuneral when you try and get some money out of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Qbgrey 4,118 Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Id be looking for a new job,that company sounds shit anyway.too much stress fighting something that cost time and money,and you ( unfairly) can never win. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
