  1. I have now been dismissed from work and have just filed a formal appeal letter with the company before it goes to tribunal. My union rep based on the case I have presented so far is confident we will have a positive outcome when this finally reaches ET stage. Thanks again everyone.
  2. Thanks to everyone who has posted so far, I have taken union advice and will be attending a hearing next week with him so feeling alot stronger.
  3. Well I now have to wait for a letter to attend a hearing once they have sent me more information and supporting evidence relating to the allegation.
  4. Hi All, I need some advice. I have been suspended from work on full pay yesterday and am 13 weeks pregnant. My suspension is not an accusation of guilt but according to the letter my employer has provided is required in order for them to undertake an investigation. I work in a telesales role selling advertising space which requires 3 hours on the phone per day and the allegation is that I have phoned a paticular telephone number which does not relate to my work in order to achieve the minimum target above. For the last 7 weeks due to tiredness and lack of support in the work place i have not achieved this target anyway and the allegation about abuse or falsification of call records is completely unfounded. Since I notified my employer of pregnancy they have given me paid time off for maternity appointments, however, the owner of the company and a number of male colleagues have treated me with contempt on returning from these appointments and also from sickness leave I have taken, various comments have been made about p*** taking. On one occasion (my 1st appt with my midwife, conducted at home) I had an appointment with my midwife at 9am, she did not turn up until gone 10am and the appointment continued till 11:30am at which time I went straight to work and then at 12:30 ( when my normal everyday lunch hour starts) I asked a colleague to bring me a sandwich so I could eat at my desk and catch up on some work, although I feel I could have taken my lunch my boss/owner reprimanded me for eating any lunch and said i should have had something at home whilst waiting for the midwife?????? On another occasion I arrived in work slightly late due to headache and morning sickness & had not managed any breakfast so at 11am felt my blood sugar levels had dropped and felt slightly dizzy so a female colleague offered me half a sandwich which took me less than a minute to eat. I was then asked by a male colleague not even responsible for managing me if I was intending to take an early lunch as I had eaten something, as i tried to explain why I had eaten something, the person in question said this was a prime example of p*** taking which was then backed up by another male colleague. My employer has never been in a position where one of his employees has been pregnant and I feel like I am being managed out the company due to my pregnancy and the difficulties I have been experiencing so far. Can anyone help?????
