30 years i have been a manager of betting shops never been sacked before or even given a warning.

Unless he can give a legitimate reason you should claim redundancy and money in lieu of notice. Even if he has a good reason he still cannot behave like this as there are proecdures to be followed or you can claim unfair dismissal.

By:
He doesnt have a leg to stand on mate
|
|
By:
Unless youv'e been at it,he cant do that to you. Go to a local solicitor who specialises in working law,who gives a free 1/2 hour consoltation,he will point you in the right direction
|
|
By:
He has to go through the proper procedures
If it was down to ability he has to give you warnings both verbal and written about performance. Only other way he could sack you is for gross misconduct or misconduct. Even with this he has to follow procedures. He cant just sack you after 3 years |
|
By:
must give you three verbal warnings and one written one before the boot
|
|
By:
Hes probably aware of all this but hoping that you go without making a fuss.
If he has done as you have described and just said yer sacked without any warning or explanation then you have a strong case. |

don't bother with CAB
You should call ACAS http://www.acas.org.uk 08457 47 47 47 |

new employer only took over very profitable shop on sept 1st 2009 previous employer solld it to him for a chunk.
|
|
By:
Has he opened today? Could get more complicated if he has gone bust?
|
|
By:
a lot of mssinformation on this thread
defo call ACAS |
|
By:
My info is correct.
|
|
By:
The only misinformation is the 3 verbal warnings as far as I can see.
|
|
By:
if he has closed the 1 shop down sounds like redundancy
if shop remains open and he moves someone else in it would be unfair dismissal. if the firm has gone bust could be a bigger problem. try this website http://www.berr.gov.uk/whatwedo/employment/index.html |
|
By:
Good luck anyway mate.
Hope you get it sorted |
|
By:
yes shop open today with my ex deputy on duty.
|
|
By:
has he given you wages in lieu of notice ?
|
|
By:
im a manager and was told by h/o three verbal warnings are needed etc
|
|
By:
are any of his relatives involved ?
I've known an independent where he was always employing his relatives who were useless. |
|
By:
just said a letter and any money owed wud be sent by post!
|
|
By:
What reason did he give mate ?
|
|
By:
Sounds like the bloke has run out of money. Although he's in the wrong getting any money out of him might be difficult.
Sorry to hear your news btw |
|
By:
oh sorry just read thread opener again
|
|
By:
padlock. That depends on the circumstances. There are plenty of offences that can lead to dismissal without warnings.
|
|
By:
yes gross misconduct etc,but not in this case.

Bloody hell geof. Feel for you mate, must be a shocking bombshell to lose yer job without warning.
Family mate ? |

By:
I went to a large 'Panbet' shop in Ashford a couple of years back, for working reasons. Not that this has anything to do with anything.
Geofj, You should have been given a reason. If he suspects you of doing something wrong, he should have told you, or called the police. If not, possibly depending on contracts (as you've only actually worked for him for a few months) you should DEFINITELY contact an employment solicitor, as was suggested earlier, who will give you 1/2 an hour free anyway to discuss your next move. I feel for you mate, and wish you luck. C-C, I went for an interview with Messrs Pluck etc, they seem to me a particularly unsavoury outfit. I'll tell you more at some point. |

Andy Murray started a similar thread a while back although in his case it was about being given a warning.
He lives in Ashford as well. |
