Stue11 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Surely they have to have proof in writing, lets face it anyone can say that they have had complaints about someone, go and see the C,A,B, and see what they say. Sorry for the news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firehawk 0 Posted February 24, 2011 if people could be sacked just like that because of customer complaints about them then my ex-boss should be well gone. i think they have to give you verbal and written warnings first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smilinjack 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Only grounds for instant dismissal are gross misconduct eg grabbing someone's tits, violence or theft. Speak to someone like ACAS before you write this one off. There should have been a discplinary procedure which clearly hasn't been followed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadatious 0 Posted February 24, 2011 sorry to hear that. sounds like the boss needs sorting for just sacking on complaints. hope he finds a job real soon thou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stantheman 0 Posted February 24, 2011 what does he do and what were the complaints about ;surely the boss should of investigated the complaints Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suzukijax 0 Posted February 25, 2011 There were no complaints the boss said it for an excuse he also said hubby was unhappy in his work so its best all round He worked at a car scrappers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E.goldstein 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Sorry to hear this news, did I misunderstand that your husband's boss has said that a coumster had complained about you husband however; the boss then said that no one had complained and the boss just want to get rid of your husband! Ok if that is the case then your husband may have ground to try for unfair dismissal. If your were in Leicester I could point you to a good solicitors firm that deals with employment matters. The best thing is go to your local solicitor that runs a free one hour clinic and give them your side of it all, they should be able to help.However; beware that it’s becoming harder to take an employer to tribunal “that’s thanks to the new Tory led government”All the best.E.goldstein “they watching you”!

suzukijax 0 Posted February 25, 2011 His boss has no proof that any of the customers have complained but the other workers there have said he has done this before. Hubby is at the job centre now getting advice.Just like to say a big thanks to you all for your help and advice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oslin06 0 Posted February 25, 2011 I agree, you can not just boot someone out now, there should be a verbal warning followed by a letter for the second and the third letter would be the sack, you might be able to get one of those no cure no pay companys to take it up for you,you might as well get any cash you can out of it, as you will not be earning untill you get another job.Keith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

always1more 0 Posted February 27, 2011 I'll post again for the 5th time Sorry to hear this Jax, like has been said, a verbal 1st etc, can't just sack somebody like this, especially if it's only a 1 sided story from the manager, thinking of yers in these hard times.

peejay 0 Posted February 27, 2011 As has been said. I'm pretty sure he can't just get rid like that, you really should look into this further, doesn't sound like a good place to work but you may be able to get compensation, worth a try - hope he gets sorted soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
