Sounds like you have done Ok. Can't a third party hold the money / cheque and you sign the document and hand the keys back at the same time. Isn't 'redundant better than resignation?

Hi Cazzie Your employer's file on you must comply with data protection rules. If they are not accurate because you went through a ET case you should have the findings of the Tribunal to prove that your story is true and accurate. You could write to your employer and insist that the file does not comply with data protection and if they refuse to correct the mistake you can complain to the Information commissioner. You can raise a grievance not only on your file but also the lying to you especially as you have the evidence that they supplied you!!! As far as your medical history is concerned.... this is a double edged sword. Now that they KNOW what your previous medical history is they are on notice if they do something that would jeopardise your health and well being. Personally I would shove it directly in their faces and tell them what problems arose previously but at present you are OK and it is not a problem (unless it is of course). Do you mind telling us what is the problem and whether it impacts on your job?

I agree that as an investigative tool anon statements have a place. After all the Kray's were all brought down with anon statements being made. But when the arrest team went in names were put in and they were signed but only when they were safely locked up.

Hi I am not sure I can help you African_igbo............. When I was at work and I am sure this applies to many people, you turned up ready to work and if you ahd some preparation to do eg don specialised clothing or have equipment ready then you did it. What you describe above seems a reasonable prelude for any worker to do prior to actually starting their work. I fear you have a 'thing' about this company and want to get even for some reason. I am sure we all could help if your final goal was clear which it is not at present.

Any chance you could answer my query?

Maybe so, but eventually these people would have to be identified in a ET case. It is patently unfair to use statements from anonymous sources to justify action. Any manner of crap could be said otherwise. The manner in which the suspension was announced also bothers me. It is like sign posting the staff to make statements around a sexual harassment basis. It would have been safer, fairer and better evidentially to simply state A1 had been suspended for an alleged incident and that management were seeking information as to any other conduct that could have broken company policy. All I am saying is at this stage and in this manner these statements can be questioned as being suspect even before any are made and disclosed.

Well if you search the ICO website you will find that organisations have to register for public consumption who the Registered Data Controller is and their address. There might not be a job in the company but someone must have filled in the form and someone allocated the responsibility of being the controller. You obviously spoke to someone that has no knowledge of the system!!

Surely it depends on what the money has been allocated towards. If it was Personal Injury Payment and / or Injury to Feelings then deductions would not be applicable? Each case on its merits surely.

Applying to DVLA for the name and address of owner for the purpose of service of a summons is allowed. Alternatively you could apply to Land Registry for the details too. Shouldn't cost too much. Knock on the doors of the neighbours and ask? What about stopping the postman and asking for the surname may or may not give it to you.

can you get it?

Have you the registration number of the car she drives?

Hi Anxiousone.... hope you got some sleep. It is good that you have a 'friend' that is feeding you the information. A couple of things come out of this post, first the management are obviously looking for corroboration of the wife's allegation and he doesn't care that he trashes your name (he has let it be known that you are a sex pest!! If it is a lie he has slandered you). Even if he gets statements the fact that they are anonymous makes them worthless. How can he take action on them that would stick. Is there any reason for you to be worried over these women saying anything to your detriment and if so what reasons could there be for them to do so? The next thing is there any male staff where the wife could have made advances to as well as you?

Hi locknettie........ I think cagger will need more information. We will be thinking about you and keep our fingers crossed for you both. Take it one stage at a time, the employer needs to show its hand first.

Honey.. I am blue all over and have a white beard....... you can't miss me!!

The Mail are reporting that Tax Accountants are saying that the HMRC don't have to demand money that has not been paid if the blunder is don to them. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1309639/Tax-blunder-rebellion-Experts-urge-1-4m-pay-taxmans-mistake.html Does anyone have details of the 'A19: Extra-Statutory Concession'? Seems to me MP's should be getting on to the Government asap and stopping this for everyone's sake and wasting time and resources collecting it.

What are you going to do when you have the information and links you are seeking? As you are no longer an employee of this company and it has been pointed out that legally you will be unlikely to be able to do anything even a grievance is likely to end up in a bin somewhere. What is your goal?

That's great. well done.

Have you been on to the credit card company? You may not be alone in the potential scan and the CC company should be able to tell you more.

"he was offered a lower rate on the mortgage " Is this a buy to let mortgage or a normal mortgage. Surely there would be a larger rate for renting out so the lender might be wanting more money. Are we in Fraud territory here?

That may be your salvation then. As elpulpo has said, if you get in writing first the allegations that you are alleged to have done, that then proves that you were employed, (why suspend you if your were not employed!!) you can then deny the allegations and then fire back with a couple of your own eg that you have asked about your paye status, wage slips, contracts, pay and conditions etc etc and that the employer has failed to do anything about your complaints. That will bring the pains on and may bring then to the negotiating table. Hope it works out. Keep us posted as to developments.

This is getting to an area that I have limited knowledge as to what reception you would get. I did have a similar personal problem after I had my accident, tax affairs were not the highest of my priorities. When I did turn my head to our tax affairs, I just played it honest and said it how it was. The HMRC issued back dated tax demands and fines and interest on those fines. However when I wrote a letter saying what stress and strain I had been under they waived the interest (or at least they waived something can't remember the details now). So you could have a hefty bill. On the other hand your employer could well be in bigger poo. How many other employees are under the same deal?

What have you told the taxman? have you submitted tax returns? Your employer obviously has not and would be well in the poo, but we are trying to look after your position. You don't want to go frying pan to fire that wouldn't be helpful. How can you square it with the taxman whilst sorting out the employer?

How about calling their bluff and issuing proceedings? You could follow it up with a without prejudice letter stating that you are willing to settle but the terms would need to be negotiated. if proceedings are issued they then have the problem of getting rid of them and that means money. The fact that they want a CA and you issue proceedings gives them a big headache, they are the ones that want secrecy not you.

I was trying to be delicate. Sometimes (I realise you probably know what I am saying) peopel claim benefits, fail to disclose earnings to the HMRC, fail to pay national Insurance etc while also working 'cash in hand.' I am not suggesting you have done this but if you are sure you are 'legit' then perhaps your employer has something to hide eg failing to pay employers Nat Insurance, minimum wage payment, something???? Sexual Harassment works both ways..... http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/e_sex_discrimination_and_sexual_harassment_at_work.pdf Are you saying that you are the victim?

Everyone has rights, it depends on whether you want to enforce those rights. Cash in hand, normally suggests that one side or both have something to hide. Are you in a position to be open in a Tribunal or would you rather not raise issues? Am I mad??????? Maybe, it helps to pass the time of day away.
