Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
My wife has had a few sick instances recently - nothing too major but
one of these was due to a car crash she was involved in.
Anyway, she had a sickness interview at work, and has been told that
shes now 'banned' from overtime at work for 3 months. The overtime in
question is well paid (compared to the job!)
Shes not the only one in the department to suffer like this (About 1/3
of the staff are similarly banned).
Can an employer make up their own rules and punishments like this?
What is the cause of her sickness? If it is something that brings her within the DDA perhaps not.
If the contract makes it clear that the overtime is discretionary, then I reckon they can give this to who they want, provided that the reason for not giving it to others is not linked to a potential discriminatory reason e.g. bassed on race, sex, religion etc

I am sorry that work means I don't get into the Employment Forum as often as I would like these days, but nonetheless I'll try to pop in when I can.
