Quite Frightened

[elpulpo]

How long have you worked there?

Have you previous disciplinary issues?

What was the detriment to the company by you not arriving on time?

Have they given you a suspension letter?

[elpulpo]

Thanks so much for the prompt reply Elpulpo!

 

1:11 Months

2:No

3:None realy, it was a Sunday so we werent that busy at all. They could have coped quite well without me.

4:Yes they have, it tells me when the investigation is and that they may decide to discipline me.

Thanks for answering the questions! So often people just go off on one.

 

Were you late due to the weather/public transport?

What size is the company? Standard disciplinary/performance rules?

Assuming for the moment your company are being fair and not trying to "downsize" on the cheap.....

 

Can you obtain any independent proof of the transport delays (local newspaper report for example). In other words prove you didn't just get up four hours late! Providing you made a reasonable effort to get there on time there should be no further issue.

 

Sadly, as you have worked there for less than a year your protection is limited.

 

Is there any reason to believe they are generally unhappy with your performance and are simply looking for specific point?

Just what I was going to say.

It'd be disproportionate for them to dismiss. Hard to fight under 12 months service.

What are the contractual terms of the degree sponsership? Are you liable for the cost of it if the relationship is terminated?

How long have you been suspended?
