Hi,

you should try and get a solicitor online,look for an employment solicitor try contact law they might take your case on you were not charged with any offence by the police you will have to tell them if your employer went through there proper procedures if they didnt you should still be able to take them to court for constructive dismissal,be warned they will lie about what happened,also put in a data search for all records and data about this alledged theft and your hr file at your old employers it costs £10.00 pay by check made payable to your old employers,they must respond within 30 days with this data,

good look

Hi,

 

The time bar would only start from the time of the dismissal. You need to reread the acas rules. You have I would suggest avery strong case for Unfair Dismissal and suggest you write to the company as soon as possible telling them of their failings. You have been convicted of no crime and if you take the police out of the equation what have you left "sacked for no good reason"

What was the effective date of termination? (EDT)

 

Did your firm not invite you to any meeting of any kind? They are required to undertake investigations themselves (this is the case even if the police had prosecuted, the mere fact that the police prosecute is not in itself sufficient grounds for an employer to dismiss) and they are therefore required to ask your views, undertake some meeting of some kind where you can put your evidence etc.

 

Was the telephone call a "you're fired" type of call? What was the date of that call?

 

What is your companies appeal and grievance process? You must undertake this as well.

any thing like that they should put in writing and give u clear reaasons! and it would be 3 months - 1 day from date on the letter but contact acas, asap the sooner the better,

Hello coxyboi.

 

This thread is 3 years old, I'm afraid. Sadly we don't know the outcome, but I think it's definitely out of time now.

 

My best, HB
