my wife works a nightshift for a nursing home, doing 3 days a week, there are 4 staff on each shift. she is having problems with one of the other staff on her shift where she is constantly being accused of doing things wrong she has not done. she also has remarks made to her as she is working with this woman and it seems to me as if this is victimisation. there is a manager on each shift and 3 staff, my wife being one of them. the woman that keeps accusing her of doing things wrong works nearly every day and does the same thing to other staff on other shifts, the woman in question goes above her manager straight to the owner of the company and complains.
the nursing home has roughly 30 staff working for them and everybody is scared of this woman who keeps making false complaints, everyone including her manager agrees that my wife works very hard without doing anything wrong but the higher management keeps calling my wife in to the office and accuses her of things varying from doing washing duties wrong(which she does not) to this woman in question complaining that her car has been damaged by my wife.
the owner of the company has now told my wife that she wants her to swap her shift to day shifts instead which she does not want to do.
there are half a dozen people looking for other jobs because this woman in question gives them problems as well.
sorry this a long post but does anyone know where my wife stands on being falsely accused of things and what i could say or write to the management and where she stands legally on this.
this is really starting to get my wife down as she is on the verge of going to the doctors over it because of stress
any help grateful
