Hi Gang its now 26/03/2013 was origanlly interviewed 18/01/2013 still have not heard if this is going to a full disciplinary yet ??????????????? still have not had my van back having to travel to the office on my motorbike every day and still i am being kept in the office not allowed to go out. i feel i have been trated like a naughty little school boy

Hi I would like to know that if i get the sack from my full time job for misconduct i understand that the JSA may be sanctioned??But what if i have a part time job working 16 hours per week getting paid £128.00 per week would this be classed as low income, (ie) so it meant that i would not have to recieve JSA therefore the sanctiion would not matter ??????????????????and because i am only getting paid £128.00 would i still be entitled to housing and poll tax benifit.SW

Update its now 7/03/2013 i was originally interviewed on 18/01/2013still have not heard a thing.DC

Hi gang just an update, i have now got another investigation interview tomorrow as they have now said that i have contacted a witness in the case, and discussed the disciplinary which i cant remember because i am always now in the office people are asking me whats going on all the time, as it is so unusual for me to be here, to answer some of your questions, i dont remember signing anything regarding use of the van, i dont clock in or out, DC

Just spoke with my line manager and she said that the managment took my van away as they wanted me to be inside the office all day. but i have always taken it home and have done since 2002

Both really please as i dont know what to do for the best

Hi guys i have already posted on hear that i might be facing a disciplinary, but i returned to work yesturday which normaly involves me driving around the borough in a van and taking it home. however due to the possible disciplinary they have told me that i cannot go out and must stay in the office for the whole day 08.00 to 16.00 until if they decide if its going for a disciplinary,which could be anything from 2 to 3 weeks, and they have taken my van off of me, and i was not told that this would happen i had to get a cab home yesturday costing £40.00, now the problem is i now have to make my own way to the office on my motorbike, i live in Brentford and the office is in sutton, i have always been supplied with a van as it says on my job disrciption, to be supplied with a council van mobile phone and a camera and i have these since 2002. by the way the disciplinary involves me getting a parking ticket outside the borough. i feel like resigning but would i get any jsa???????DC

Thanks snalf for your advice. Silverwing

Hi snalf no i didnt appeal, ????????????????

Hang on a minute perhaps i didnt make it clear I RETURNED TO THE AREA AND STAYED ON TO MAKE THE TIME UP. oh well life on benifits here we come i suppose:!::!::!::!::!:

Hi gang to answer some of your questions, been there for 13 years, no tracker fitted, never been told i couldnt take vehicle off area during lunch break or part there of, not suspended, already have a first and final warning on my file for 2 years which expires in June this year, Had to get front door keys off of wife as she was going to work at 12 am not returning untill 11 pm that night, dont complete work sheets for days work i manage my own time, took 2 hours because of traffic from area to home and back, Hpe this helps. DC

Hi gang i would just like the forums ideas on this please. I have been called into a disciplinary investigation because i work in the field not office based in sutton surrey, but one day i left my front door keys and wallet at home by mistake, as i am self managed during the day but only get half an hour lunch i raced home in the company van i am supplied with which i also take home every night and at weekends by the way to get the items i live in Brentford roughly about 20 miles from sutton, on the way home i stopped to buy a newspaper and got a parking ticket which i have always said i would pay the whole journey took about 2 hours to complete but i stayed on to make the time up but the company cannot check this. but they are saying that it was missuse of a company vehicle,unauthorised absnce, contravention of a traffic regulation whilst using a company vehicle incurring a penalty fine, potentially bringing the council into disrepute. And this is contary to the councils code of conduct disciplinary rules and procedure. I am very worried they will sack me for this any advice please. D.C.

Thank you I am a little concearned because i have read that if you get the sack for misconduct my benifits jas might be held up for 26 weeks is the case????????? Dave

Hi HB not claiming yet but i think im about to be sacked but thats another story so if i do get the sack it will ony be job seekers and housing and poll tax.

Hi the question i would like to be answerd is this, if i am signing on and my wife works as a dinner lady at a private school only working in term time only, but she does not pay any tax or national insurance do i have to inform the benifits office please. silverwing
