hello can compromise agreements be done on personal injury cases as well as employment I had nervous breakdown in 2010; my counseller confirmed former employer responsible 16 months no admission - by law had to be done 3 months 21 days - the insurers got acnowledgment july 2010 are they in breach for not following protocols they also announced not keeping up with protocols and would be outsourcing - is this a bad issue I reported accident, refusal was made to put in accident book; again is there further breech lost 19 grand so far after tax week before proposed deadline of et1 my hearing aids died; missed deadline. the cab advised me to do personal injury due to longer time I am 20 percent disabled on industrial injury Job centre ruled in my favour was an injury and illness on anti depressents rest of my life; unable to take prior as on diazapam realise personal injury seperate issue but should they valid sick note for stress in2010 former boss said but you are after I said not thick, was reduced in tears. went back to college did payroll diploma got distinction to proove him wrong, no one recruiting me due to illness applied 135 jobs 6 interviews thanks

no go but little positive outcome cannot talk about it but compromise so better than nothing. I was told my letter from my GP to occupational health was not relevant. My GP advised due to my employment prior to this I cannot work some time due to my illness which former employer prior caused. How can I prove to people about the depression now - they told me I made no one aware about the depression but I told senior manager I had nervous breakdown and said I could not work with two people; in case they came in - surely that was covering depression or is a nervous breakdown different issue but shall I just say on first day ever with a firm I have had depression and need time.

Hello A family member is asking They handed in notice I believe she has worked for five years no union She owes them four days holiday - she has said they want to take the money out of final packet ordoes it have to be done in her notice pay thanks

I was in same boat as you, mine was all lies, and the judge even said at my PHR my claim would have been a good valid one - unfortunately week before deadline my hearing aids died and came back day after and that still was not allowed; but the respondant lied even with wrong date on my nervous breakdown - just disgraceful that it came to all that

Had my appeal; did not seem to go in my favour. Does anyone think I should still send in because I made senior manager aware of the depression and nervous breakdown but she had not passed it on, could that have been avoided if they had been fully made aware of it. An occupational health was requested never got to them in time but it clearly said as a result of bullying and I said no lifting etc. I was taking responsibility to build up the strength in my back again to improve it to be able to assist with the lifting but no manual handling training provided. I was also treated less favourably being the only fixed term in payroll all the rest on permanent. Paid deposit for two christmas parties. I also feel hurt for injury to feelings as they said I was not suitable for payroll even though I have a full distinction No reasonable adjustments with people to sit with me when they made adjustments

Hello Honeybee They said I keyed in the wrong rate of overtime on the system, which I did go back in to amend. I think a lot of it is due to lack of training - everyone else knew they whole way round whole of system and got one whole month training They said they gave me plenty of chance to do it. I only had three attempts in only three days, I was with no login for a month and no team for another month so two months of the probation gone out of the three. Of course I went back in and amended it they said I did not. They also said I mixed up the filing which I dropped the papers after shaking. I put the pile I thought I got correct in a seperate place so that did not get mixed up, then I concentrated to get the remainder done. An hour was taken out of my time to do it and then it was passed round the team to do three quarters each but they did not give me a smaller pile to put it back in to practice. I did a smaller pile of filing for another team member he told me his were correct. I then get called in a meeting on 11 October, after only being on the system 4-7 October. 7-10 October no opportunity to sit with the person who sorted out my amendments on the system, to find out how I could have improved it. 12 October my manager tells me I am going to be fine, then on 13 October a letter saying outcome, 14 October no verbal warning just instant dismissal. It feels like I was only with that team for only 4 days on the system, out of 90 days of a probation. I had 13 days left in my probation after payroll cut off on the 14th to be allowed to sit with people. I was told I was not suitable for payroll, I am fully qualified in it. The system was so unstable and crashed 4 times in ten minutes. I spent more time on the clothing client for the company than the work I did and got that all done with no issues and more support from that team

Have an appeal next week How can I argue it Can I say I do not think it was fair to say I was not suitable in payroll even though I am fully qualified, no issues with clothing client, it has been said I did not attempt to correct but I did and I went on and did it but the senior member when he sorted it did not show me on the system. Can I say after a few days it would have been picked up and had no intention of making any.

Well I got my appeal date through for 25 october It has been escalated to Acas for pre consilidation I have told them that I had made not a single issue with the clothing client and I knew more about that - the outcome of my pre consilidation is I want to be with them as I knew more about that. The work I was doing was processed on a very unstable system I got 80-90 percent in companies compliance training and induction tests Can the disability discrimination mount as he said I am not suitable for payroll even though I am fully qualified in it with a distinction. He never interviewed me for the job I paid deposit for two parties; they have not given that back. 30 days no team with me, 30 days no system log in, was supposed to be 6 month fixed term but they chose a 3 month probation - had 13 days more left in probation to learn and be with people - they said no time and resource to sit with me, others had sat with each other. No one came to show me on system on other areas where it went wrong. I took some work on some occasions, within 5 minutes he took away from me no chance to do it I know I made some mistakes, but they are saying I did not make effort to amend but I had and I certainly knew I had but the system too unstable Someone even got wrong cost centre wrong, I remembered colour coding which team did not apply for a while. Could the comment about asking if I took a shower also mount to disability discrimation because of my depression and he said to ask a celebrity if it was true if he had a 14 inch.. I do not want to say full word; he broke my heart too as one thing they were asked what do you know about me I said had first kiss from celebrity, he said is that how she died; two months prior she died in real life from cancer

I have an appeal meeting, date not as known yet. Can I tell them I felt more comfortable doing one piece of work and there were no issues with that. Can I tell them I want to be reinstated with that team because they were pleased with what I did. I will tell them I accept I made mistakes and I was prepared to learn from it. I needed the confidence boosted for working again and it took me a long time to get back in to work following my previous ordeal and that it was not fair that my other manager said I was not suitable for payroll when I am fully qualified in it but never till I got the job then, to put itito practice.

Mums told me to write an appeal; draft below Dear xx I should like to complain about the way my contract was terminated today. In my interview it was stated that I had 6.months with the team to pick up the job but in fact I was only with the team for 3 days as they were all in London. I had to wait an additional 30 days for a login. During the period you were all away I had no opportunity to get on the system to practice and I asked to sit with people but was told no time and resource, however others sat with each other. I do not think it was fair that I had 13 days left of my probation left to at least sit and make more notes and I did not even apply for the role I did explain in my application that I had no experience of Payroll but was keen to build on my course (in which I gained a distinction). I also said that it might take me a bit longer to pick things up than some due to my illness. It was the way I wanted to move for a career change, as I studied so hard. There was not a single issue with another clients work, and I passed the companies own Global Induction test/Data Security. I accept that I made some mistakes but so did other members of the team and they have not been fired. If I had been given a smaller pile of that filing it would have helped me get it back in to practice. If I had been given opportunity to sit with xx when he was on system to know what it looked like on a different part of the system it would have helped. I had a cold and was un well and you told me not to worry. I was trying to keep positive. I paid a deposit for both Christmas parties and have lost awful lot of money being out of work for two years, due to my illness. How can I prove to a new company now I can do payroll, which it was something I have always believed I can do but never, till 1st August was given opportunity to do so. I had worst Christmas ever in 2010 with ten days of no water and being forced out my job. I was so happy for a while, but the comments telling me I stank were unacceptable, I showered every morning for a fresh approach to work. My counsellor even said I was a changed person and I was looking forward to building my new career with which I thought would be a respectable company and felt so much happier. Now my career has sunken even lower. Since being discharged, it feels like you took advantage of me. None of my emails were replied to. If I do not have a satisfactory response I will be taking further to an employment tribunal for disability discrimination as I was honest to make you aware of my hearing loss, and my illness. Thank you.

Hello Honeybee Thank you Last time alas my hearing aids died two weeks before deadline and came back a week after. I was pleased even though not best frame of mind due to the post traumatic stress the judge ruled in my favour that if it had been in time it would have been good claim My solicitor on personal injury front for old job before this is asking for schedule of loss for that now as civil courts different and seems to be sorting out I do feel so let down as not much time to learn as I needed then he put words in my mouth saying he felt work was not for me.

Hi there Yes I believe disabilty I made them aware I needed extra time when I first started They knew of my anti depressents and my hearing loss I did not meet any other management at interview but on first day when I started I was honest upfront

Does it have to be a years service to qualify for disability discrimination or can it be earlier I feel bit discriminated against was not sure. I joined initially on 1 August I did not apply for job they found me I was without my team for 30 days; they wet on training in London with client as they needed to know. I was about to go but was honest about nervous breakdown with former employer. appreciate health first as they did not want me through due to my bad experience with former employer I had no system log in for another 30 days. 4 others like me but they were sitting with those who did have login I offered to sit with people to learn work. I was told no time for me to do so.. others are I eventually got system access 1 October I went on system 4 to 7 October I understood overtime how to process it e.g. the fundamentals of finding authorised signatory etc how to do it. I was told I was talking too much to people I said I needed longer to learn I was told I stank. I had three days on the system but made mistakes; due to my depression I made errors but had not intention of doing so I thought I had gone back to correct those Someone said they spent six hours correcting my mistakes; did not tell me where or offered to show me where wrong but I was shown on an audit but because I had not been shown somethings I did not understand Others siting with others training Did tests through company intranet and got 80-90 percent on company values I did sanction test for client; I was in a state and lost concentration with cold. Was being taken off system no further opportunity I was told six month contract now been told 3 month probation Had no manual handling training in induction but they've taken me off lifting which other employer made me do following two industrial accidents in last job which was okay but induction was 2 months after I joined not immediately after I started. Contract stopped 14 october 2011 I was allowed my holiday for a week. Which booked before in old job but could not cancel Due to a cold when coming back I made mistakes; shaking when doing filing dropped papers. I initially put in three piles; then started to put all in one then got mixed up - lost concentration. 2500 to do. Not done that much filing I was nervous, took while to ask people for help. But I looked like I understood the work but sometimes needed additional help; I eventually asked questions on system asked for help to make phone call as I lost my voice. Whole team then did it between them. Others made mistakes and are not being fired. Told im nice guy not me its job I was told they felt im not suitable for payroll when fully qualified with a distinction.

Nothing has been done yet. I have been in similar waters before, unfortunately I lost my job due to post traumatic stress, and harrassment as my last boss told me I was thick. My GP told me to resign on ill health from that job as I injured my back and my shoulder as I could not continue with it due to lifting of heavy paper etc; which I should not have been doing so I went back to college for a career move in to payroll which is something I have always wanted to do and is where I am now. I cannot say who the work for the client is but another client I did well on and I have the email which has no issues on that work so I am keeping that. I have one email also from another staff in the client which I was upset about on Friday, so I will keep that too. I appreciate they've told me about mistakes immediately rather than a year before like in old job, I passed probation in old job with another company and it was only when I lost my Gran I was grieving as no compassionate leave I was not concentrating as I could not cope with her loss and made mistakes; their mistake was not allowing me time off to recover from that ordeal
