I asked How many times has his contract been renewed previously? What's his length of service? - It sounds like he has not been renewed if he only started in May, so continuity of service is not a factor here. And then, what does the absence policy say? It would be unusual for an email to be ok, most require a phone call. - he hasn't given a sick note - so he is in breach. That's clear enough. But, if it is just about references - ask. He should just ask what the reference will say. Him, not you, by the way. Probably a good idea for him to find his way around forums himself too. It sounds like they are not dismissing, they are just not renewing - huge difference. So there's no disciplinary, no need to state his case. They are doing a thing they are completely permitted to do. Extreme? Tenuous? Maybe. Legal? 100%. I'd probably have just said we're not renewing and leave it at that, but then again, getting a reason means he's had an opportunity to learn. A basic reference stating dates of employment is all many employers offer now; so he should just ask if that is what they do/ what to expect them to issue, and then you can stop worrying. In the middle of a pandemic no employer is going to think it is weird a FTC was not renewed. -
ok, so a verbal warning would not be the end of the world. Do ask in wiring for a copy of the policy that was in force on the day you went for your test; which might be different to the policy that exists now! But, if you are clear that you had not been briefed properly on the policy, and clearly were trying to comply - you showed good intention by taking the test and then staying home as soon as you had the results. You didn't want anyone to get sick. it's clearly an unfortunate misunderstanding. Obviously now you know better, you'd do things differently next time. I think if you're a good worker otherwise, this will turn out to be a storm in a teacup. Glad to hear your colleague sounds like he's doing ok. Out of all this, that you are both doing ok is the most important thing.

I thought I had answered your questions , have I missed some? I absolutely appreciate that you are trying to help, I have taken a look at the absence policy but it pertains more to full time regular members of staff. His shifts were never the same each week or month. It states that he is to contact his manager on the first day of absence (which he did)and if longer than 7 days then he would need a sick note from the doctors he had contacted the doctor to arrange this but there was a backlog on registering patients. (he only graduated from Uni in May during the first lockdown). My concern is the affect this may have on any references. He graduated from University in May and this is the only job he has since then. I just feel that although I agree and understand that the main point is the fact that he didn't send the email, at no point was he allowed to state his case officially. -

Taxhelper Dont know how to say it, but a Genuine Thankyou Shows what a great person you are that you are prepared to offer such advice for free . Im vey much indebted. Thankyuo again stay safe xxx -
The choice is yours - yes, you can reopen the 2018/19 Return and resubmit it online - corrected - by the end of this month to include that overlooked expense. Alternatively you can include it in your 2019/20 Tax Return declarations if you wish. Obviously the first action will ensure both Returns are more accurate. We do that for some of our clients now and again when they inadvertently overlook something. It's fairly usual practice. Once again .....good luck!

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON**
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
