Disciplinary while under a doctor's note

[c_allen]

and our governments whining about zimbawia?? ok not spelt right, but i'm to angry to care, sorry. take a look closer to home *^"#@9

hi fiesty, i've today spoke to an employment lawyer, they say the only way i could take it further is if they have not paid me notice. well they did today. i can't even take it to a tribunal to clear my name because the only award, in a case of wrongful dismissal is payment of notice, they paid me notice so i have no claim,,,,,

 

yep it's wrong, but it seems to be legal:mad:

Don't faff around, get an employment law specialist and sue the buggers for unfair dismissal. I am pretty sure in these circumstances, you have a case. i would particularly advise you to get advice on the disability discrimination implications.

I spoke to an employment specialist today, he said the only claim i can put in (because i've only been employed for 11 months) is for my notice pay, if they have paid this (which they have) then i can't take them to a tribunal, not even to clear my name and to prevent them putting my so called poor attendence record (no matter how ill i am) on any future reference, wrong i know, but it appears that being a white, English male, with no recognised disabilty and straight, out weights my rights to a fair hearing. I know i sound bitter, but thats because i am

you know the most annoying thing about all this,,, if i'd contracted any one of these illness's next month, i'd be protected, no problem, could anyone explain to me how this is right......

[c_allen]

and 1 other point is that i know of at least 1 other person, who has had more time off sick than me, and SHE has been there 2 months less than me, and SHE is being considered for promotion,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm not willing to drop her in it though,,, we are good friends and i've lost enough without losing my friends,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,how wrong is this

[c_allen]

not good,,,,,the meeting was adjorened due to health grouds, my health, i was a jibbering wreck, they made sure of that...........................

it seems that i am wasting my time, they have today paid me my notice. so i can't take this any further, even though they have disregarded my very limited rights, they have disregarded stat min procedure, HSE regs, thier own company policy, employment laws, i cannot take this any further, they quoted the same sentence for every point i raised,,,,

my advise to anyone who has been dismissed is, if they have not been employed for over 12 month is, however wrongly, is if you recieved notice, then save yourselves the hassle and heartache, and just roll over and play dead, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS, JUST GIVE UP, NO MATTER HOW WRONG THE DECISION IS, JUST MOVE ON, even though the company has shown they have a blatant disreguard for

1, laws.

 

 

2. HSE regs

3, their own co policy.

4, stat min procedure.

5, duty of care

 

C allen, I don't understand, if they have broken the law then surely it doesn't matter what they are sayin now? Are they legally right in what they have done? You say they have disregarded all of the above, in which case doesn't that mean that you have grounds to fight it?

 

I know you are poorly and it is not worth your health to go after these scumsuckers, but I'm just having difficulty understanding? What are the consequences of them doing what they have done in each instance, aren't they answerable to anyone about why they have done it?

 

 

if I thought that i had any chance i would go for it,, without a doubt,,,, injustice in any form is my pet hate, unfortuneatly it does apper i can't advance this without risking my home, ie. if i lose then i'm liable for their cost's. yes they have ignored ALL my very limited rights, but i have no re-course in law i.e,, unless i've been employed for 12 months, then i can only claim WRONGFULL DISMISSAL, the only award for wrongful dismissal is, notice as per contract,, they have already paid that, so i have NOT GOT A CLAIM,,,,,,, boy am i mad about that!!!!!

So sorry things did not go your way today(apologies, I do feel awful for asking on your other thread now I have read what has happened today).

[tomterm8]

Unfortunatly there are b*******s around, and if a lawyer says you'd be risking that much, you have to take their advice.

 

nevertheless, once you get your next job I'd be very tempted to sell your story to a paper

 

So, more importantly. when are they going to diagnose whether you have skin cancer or not?

monday it gets cut out, then sent for testing, dunno how long that will take to come through though:(
