laws on dismissal from work UPDATED

[Seanl]

been good for over 12 mths 

thats what am worried about the gross misconduct but surely evry 1 who has f**ked big jobs up should follow suit i dont fancy being made an example of 

i wrote off £250,000 of equipment at one flick of a switch

Told my boss, who said " sh!t happens and you owe cakes "

which was nice

 

I can black cat that chuffy, I "lost" a £320k gyro as I forgot to collect it from the Jetty before we sailed for the a week of exercises. Wasn't there when we got back. That got written off after c126 action was threatened luckily! :embarassed:

I once lost a contract with an existing client worth £2.7 Million because I missed a tender deadline.

Oops!

Was it a big food package to cost 10k?

yes mate

What was it then, out of interest?

ACAS is a good one to call BTW. 

Not easy to say "tell the boss to stuff it", hard to find jobs big time now.

If your boss does decide to dismiss you, then he must give you a full explanation in writing, and offer an avenue of appeal.

[Kerrse]

He would struggle to dismiss you as it's very hard to sack people nowadays. Sounds like you made a mistake due to not being properly equipped for the job. If he sacks you take him to a tribunal !

1. Have a look at your contract for their disciplinary procedures.
2. As above, speak to ACAS
3. Citizen's Advice Bureau is another place you can take your contract through and discuss what actions you can take.
