Guest The Phoenix Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 i may require some advice from a legal eagle , re employment law can you be sacked for failure to follow sickness absence reporting procedures without prior verbal or written warning Extremely unlikely that an employer would be able to get away with such a dismissal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave258 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 i may require some advice from a legal eagle , re employment law can you be sacked for failure to follow sickness absence reporting procedures without prior verbal or written warning Highly unlikely as has been said. Were you informed of the correct procedure to follow? And is there a record of you being informed? (Eg a signed copy of the procedure) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 think it can aspire to gross misconduct which is sackable. Most places have guidelines on what they term gross misconduct its only termed as just "misconduct" i received a letter inviting me to a disciplinary meeting , but it never stated on the letter that dismissal could occur (im sure that Highly unlikely as has been said. Were you informed of the correct procedure to follow? And is there a record of you being informed? (Eg a signed copy of the procedure) Extremely unlikely that an employer would be able to get away with such a dismissal. the procedure to date, an investigation was carried out, i have been invited to a disciplinary meeting on tuesday do they not need to state dismissal could occur on said letter? im sure they do just trying to establish facts before i go in really 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to give you advanced warning if its sackable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Lanarkshire Jag Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The tap in my kitchen has a "hot" and "cold" setting. I presume many other peoples taps have similar settings. However when I turn my tap to "hot" it doesn't give me hot water. When the heating is on, it's a 50/50 chance whether I get freezing or warm water. This is frustrating. How do I fix this? Ideally without involving a plumber. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally without involving a plumber. Do you have a combi boiler or do you have a hot water tank? If you have a combi boiler,check that it has fired up when you are running the hot water. If it has not fired up then you need a heating engineer. If you have a hot water tank check if it is hot or not. Also check any pipes that are connected to the side of it to see if they are hot when the boiler is running in the hot water mode. If these pipes are cold have a look and see if there is a metal or plastic box attached to the pipe. If so try to check if the little lever on the side of it is in the open position. To do this slide the lever across and move it into the locking catch to stop it returning. If you can do this then switch your heating on then check the pipes going to the tank are heating up. If this works it will only be a temporary measure and you really should call out an engineer for a proper fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 This might be a daft question... I've got a Ted Baker suit that was pretty much off-the-rack from Slaters a couple of years ago, but it's a nice piece of gear. The only problem is the trousers are quite "baggy". Like they were made for a bloke with fatter legs than me. Would a standard place that does alterations be able to make the trouser legs skinnier, or can they only really adjust the length? I've never had anything altered before! Cheers pals. Had the exact same problem with a Ted Baker suit. I've had jackets altered before but it never occured to me to get the trousers done. Will look into this now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Has anyone on here put in a complaint about their boss?

The employers liability insurance wont cover people who are unfit to work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pub Scarecrow Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The racing pages of a newspaper feature the tips for every race and whichever bet the tipster thinks is the best/ has most chance will have "NAP" printed next to it. Likewise, the next best tip will have "nb" next to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye proof will be needed, Emails or whatever, His word against yours will just end in a deadlock where he will ride you when you do return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, some dude from the internet, they'll go for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
