Hi There, I work for an outsourcing company in their call centre. The campaign I am working on just now is coming to an end soon and they are looking to re-deploy all the staff, however a credit search will be required as part of the application process to any of the new areas in the business. When I started in the job the company they were aware that I had poor credit and would fail a credit check, however, they still employed me as a credit check wasn't required for the project I was applying for. I am employed as a full-time, permanent member of staff. Where do I stand? Do they have an obligation to place me in a role where no credit check required such as in admin or HR team or can they simply terminate my contract? Can they force me to resign? This would be a problem as it wouldn't go down well with the benefits agency if my record shows I have resigned. I am very concerned about this and would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance. J

Ooops. ....which is contributing to my existing worries and fears. Thanks.

Hiya Alto, I was disciplined for an error which meant a customer had to be refunded, caused by lack of concentration, I admitted culpability. Personal matters had brought about my problems and awaiting disciplinary action was the straw that broke the camel's back really. Although disciplinary issue now resolved I'm still uptight about going for a meeting as it means going onto workfloor and setting tongues wagging, being questioned and just the pressure of being in a meeting situation with my manager and someone I don't know from HR dept. I will be anxious about this now until meeting which is con

Hi Honeybee13, That's great, tyvm.

Hello There Everyone, I have been off sick from work for 11 weeks due to anxiety and depression and have been asked to come in for a 'capability meeting' on Tuesday. I have only been told today about this meeting when I called in to advise that I had got another sick line from doctor. This seems very short notice especially for getting a letter from doctor to advise I am unfit to attend. I was met with employer and was disciplined 2 weeks ago for an issue which arose before I went off sick and I think my employer may have assumed that as this issue now resolved I would be ready for work this coming Monday - if not why not tell me then about this additional meeting at time of disciplinary? I am really uptight about this and think it's unfair that my employer's actions are exacerbating the symptoms which I am off sick for. Do I have to attend this meeting? Can I refuse or ask to meet a neutral venue? Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.
