Unfair Dismissal?

[nat_84]

I have been back at work for 3 months after having my daughter.

I was ill on Wednesday so called in sick. I hardly ever am sick! I work part-time and came back to work this morning to read emails from my boss (to my colleague and his wife) saying he wants me gone.

Im furious. This is surely unfair and based on the fact that i was off sick for one day.

Anything i can do?!

[nat_84]

Sorry to keep bothering you but if they dont bring in a replacement will i still have a case for unfair dismissal?

Just call in at your local Employment Office and ask if you can telephone the Arbitration Service (it's free). Give them all this information and they will give you the correct advice.

�30.00 for you

Thanks everyone! I'll wait to see what he says or what grounds he dismisses me!

Keep you updated!

it may well just be his lazy an incompetent way of giving you a 'warning' that hes watching you...


i would construct an email, using all these links, adresses and advice youve been given here, and send it to people in the office 'accidentally' ccing him into it... tell 'them' you are worried etc but will not stand for any nonsense etc... show him indirectly that if he want to play silly ******* with you, you will not take it lying down...

HI All,

Quick Update:

I was made redundant yesterday. Despite asking whether i could take my remiaing holiday next week and leave this week he said "no, i need your support next week".

I was made redundant on the basis that they could no longer afford me and he basically blamed teh credit crunch.

Since, i have evidence of Cv's and exchanged emails trying to find a replacement for my job temporarily.

I aslo have evidence that he wanted to sack me for "not pulling my weight" - which all escalated because i took that one day off ill.

I'm awaiting my fellas mum to get back from Australia - she is a freelance HR Manager and will fight all my cases.

No advice from me I'm afraid (seems as though you have had some good advice reading this thread). Just wanted to wish you all the best with it and this guy does sound a complete knob.

If in doubt send in the Mother - in -law!

oh nat, Im sorry to hear that!

I hope your MIL can kick his butt and drag his sorry arse through the ringer for you!!!!!

[mrs_overall]

The swine! I'll kneecap him for free!

Make sure you have copies of everything.

P.S. I hope you remember who your friends are when you eventually receive your payout for unfair dismissal......
