    Default sacked because of tracking report

    hi

    Ive been sackedicon because my timesheets dont match my tracking reports.

    My ex boss verbally told everyone to book all times to the 1/4 of the hour, but he sacked me highlighting these times. All within tolerance.

    My timesheets have been the same for 3 years, the same as everyone elses.

    I HAD A JOB INTERVEIW ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE BOSS SAID "YOR LEAVING SOON ARNT YOU", I DID'NT COMMENT.

    Midge makes a good point:

    a) Consistency of disciplinary action is very important. Thus if other employee's are doing this and no action is taken, this could make your dismissal unfair if you can prove it.

    b) In addition the rule seems unclear as you were told by your boss 1/4 hour extra was ok

    c) Custom and practice - if this happened for a long time are the new rules that the 1/4 hour is ok, you could argue this is in effect the 'rule'

    Best of luck

    Che

    NB How long did you work there?

    hi fellas

    no, nobody else has been sackedicon for it, one of the lads booked 11 hours overtime the other week and he was told not to do it again.

    the 1/4 of the hour rule was made to save administration costs, IE the girls in the office trying to total up minutes for the whole week.

    i feel the boss's PA has knitpicked through my sheets looking for an excuse, ive since found out that the boss let his PA go 4 days later, what a guy?

    It's perfectly acceptable to book to the 1/4 hour - most places do, i know i do.

    Can you prove you wern't doing it for finacial gain? ie

    Monday Finished @ 17.05 booked 17.00
    Tuesday Finished @ 17.10 booked 17.15
    Wednesday Finished @ 16.50 booked 17.00
    Thursday Finished @ 16.35 booked 16.30

    can you see where im going? if it was give and take and was generically accepted then you have a strong case of unfair dismisal

    If it was all take however, you may struggle regardless how many other people were doing it (IMO) notwithstanding they should still follow procedure and you should have been given the opurtunity to "see the error of your ways" especially as you genuinely though it was a acceptable practice.

    Good luck

    Chris

    Its more like

    i booked
    7.30-8.30 travel
    tracking report
    7.39-8.19

    the biggest difference was 21 min
    7.00-8.00 travel
    tracking report
    7.21-8.03

    on that occasion i was having car trouble (their car) i let the office know, but that was 3 weeks previous to my dismissalicon. I wasn't even asked why?, they just said this is unacceptable. i stated that the tracking report was a history of the veichles actions, but not my working duties ,ie
    completing paperwork, using the phone to speak to a customer.

    Very Good Point,

    you stated that the biggest discrepancy was 21 mins and that was over 3 weeks ago, does this mean that the inconsistancies were few and far between???? and when they were only within a few mins.
