i dont know how they came to light i was never told that i was first pulled in for having my purse and keys and fone on the floor and have never disputed

no the transactiuon code isnt needed what i used to do was mark the receipts as points added as many do in the like of tesco

i was seen with my purse and fone on the shop floor when i was on shift and that is breach company policy which i have never disputed and take that on the chin fully

yes it is possible if you have forgotten your card on a previous time u can go to the service desk with the receipt of purchase and the cashier puts it in manually or if you had a customer with vouchers or the like they have a supervisor code to manually put information in regarding anything so it is possible to add stuff on cards withoput purchasing anything thats why they say keep your receipt and points can be added later

i was dismissed on namely gross misconduct for fraudulant point activity which i didnt commit and did the other person give me a second thought when i was being sack i doubt it .and why would i all of a sudden decide oh i will get an other team member to put a large amount of points on my card why didnt a do that when a started in store ? i have to think of what is right my family and me being able to get another job with that on my record a dont want. an in an ideal world, which obviously we dont live in had no warning and was not given a chance to look at statements fully and my wage altered before i had even found out i had been dismissed these are things that are not right its the principle of fraud on which i have a issue

for them to treat me the same as the other staff member they were under investigation aswel and it was there till number used and there fingers that pressed the buttons so clearly if i which a didnt commit a fraud they had to be involved in some way surely they were aware of what they were doing and the points whether right or wrong what they were puttin into the till so why is there involvment been treated as ok i dont understand that at all .

not really i didnt get all the information available to me at the time from the other members of staff and as i have been advised there was indescepancies throughout and it is going to appeal everyone should be tret equally and there is no equality as far as im concerned when the other person has kept there job and i was dismissed i should not be responsible for others actions and there is a ruling on that in the triburinal procedures and a breach of company policy has different actions you can take and yes a would have excepted them fully but i have not conducted gross misconduct and refuse to except the decision made. and being punished and sacking is two different things i have never had a warning or verbal telling off

and at the time it was months before this purse incident was ever raised and i can barely at the best of times remember what a did yesterday let alone three four months ago im a single mum and run around after 3 children remembering my name and what am doing is a bonus at the best of time if you go get a pack of chewing gum can yopu say what they are typing into the till on the other side and would you be really paying that much attention and when you work people finishing ther shift saying see you tomorrow and distracted you how would you be able to see them and watch everything else

this is what i have tried to explain a didnt know they had been added and didnt think of looking at the receipt or what they were doing the other side of the counter i suppose the main thing on my mind would have been get home feet up

at the end of the day the job isnt the issue im not being blamed for something a didnt do and have never had my character questioned in a way before in my life . and want them to be answerable to making the decission without listening throughly and equally listening to both sides and taking the decission to dismiss me in advance of the meeting how canm that be fair or right i always thought in england u were innocent till proven guilty regards whether its in a workplace or court they must have a rule where everyone should be treated fairly

At the end of my shift i had purchased a couple of items and i also tried to show them that aswell by taking all my purchases since the store open via my bank statements they never looked at them

and probation was 12 weeks

i was totally unaware of the points being added and how can a be capable of fraud when i didnt ask know or put these points there in the first place

im a ladie and a single mum, who wants to show a good example to my children by working and doing the right thing by them paying my mortgage etc. who has worked at a large supermarket for a short time not 6 months, i enjoyed my job and got on well with everyone, never had time off or any question or grievences. But 4 weeks ago i was pulled into the office and told i have been seen on camera with my purse on the shop floor and at the time a tried to explain i ad lost my locker key,and also at the time lots of members of staff had items on them and rules were lacked and everyone was following other peoples leads . This has escalated to me being dismissed for apparently fraud of receiving points on a bonus card,this is there main reason for the dismissal gross misconduct, these points equated to £5. And if anyone had looked at the situation why would you jepurdize your job for £5, well i wouldnt well anyway firstly i was shocked because it wasnt me who put these points on my card and i did not ask to put these points on either, it was another member of staff on there till number and when they were on shift. Anyway an investigation proceeded with me and this other member of staff, they throw allsorts of alligations at me that at the time i tried to explain as best as i could remember as this was back in december the incident was ment to have happened. I myself was eager to please my bosses and sometimes put under pressure and yes bent company policy rules but so had many others but not to the extent that they were trying to say, it would have equated to a warning written or verbal which i have never had either and have a good record never been off sick etc and even had members of the public say to my bosses how pleasant i was to them. This was a new store that had just opened and everyone had came in as new staff members some from other stores and some just new recruits. Anyway i had the union which had just been newly trained and had very little experience at investigation or how to defend an employee didnt know the rules and what was right an wrong evidence statements etc, these investigations ran on for a total of 3 weeks and the stress and people gossiping in store and confidentuality rules broken anyway it came to a disaplinary meeting and it took an hour an half for me to be further questioned and felt to be a criminal and intimedated i was distressed and upset even now writing this, im upset by the fact i have been dismissed and the person who put these points on the bonus card has kept there job . Also i would like to add that the day i was dismissed the duty manager in question asked me how long i had been there and it was my pay day the pay slips are sent in by the post from out of our area and take a few days to be printed but why if i was dismissed the same day of my pay could all my holidays and money in lou be on my payslip ???? this would say to me even before the meeting of disipline they had already decided to dismiss me which is unfair as the duty manager went through the motions and said could i wait outside for his decision, also how can i be held responsible for the actions of another employee that put these points on said card and also they have kept there job, it wasnt me who ask for these points to be added as i tried to explain and how comes im being branded a fraud, why arnt they be branded the same??? and they have kept there job, a just dont know what to do to get them to listen and the union rep when i rang them told me they wernt interested and had a lots on there plate and didnt have time to speak to me . my questions are these why did a pay into a union that did not defend or represent me properly. why and how has the other person kept there job??when a thought we would be treated fairly. and now i have put an appeal in which at present im so under the illusion by what has already happened to me wont be treated impartially or without mallice in that said store by the main manager, i really dont want to work alongside people who obviously have treated me unfairly and have lost all confidence in there code of conduct procedures and the other staff member who has kept there job has posted on a social networking site how happy they were at there good news of keeping there job this said person i have found out that the other member of staff, was under survaliance at there other job and was due to be sacked for issue so left and started at the said store. What am i to do can someone please help with advice, at this moment in time im not bothered about the job to be honest due to the loss of confidence with the investigation and the way i was treated just want the truth and justice to be done .
