Have you tried Citizen Advice? They are a minefield of information.

When you received your Offer of Employment letter, did it contain any mention of your fitness to practice as a condition of your continuing employment? (For example, if you are employed as a Sales Rep, a condition of your employment might be a clean driving licence, or a declaration of any convinctions as this may affect the company's car insurance policy). If nothing is stated in your Employment Offer letter, does your organisation have an accompanying "Terms and Conditions of Employment Booklet? Most large professions firms will have one which gives further information about sickness, absence, causes for discliplany procedure, etc. . If you don't have a copy, contact your HR/Personnel Department and ask for one. You don't have to give them the reason. Just say that you've mislaid your copy.

when i started in the bank. i signed a contract saying that as a staff member of a financial institution as was expected to conduct my finances in an appropriate manner - prob the reasoning being if you can't look after your own finances who are you going to look after someone elses which is complete bull ****- i would check your contract of employment as the man above has said

chitchat - surely that's a mine of information?

You wouldn't be sending someone into a minefield for facts!
