Thanks guy's appreciate the input. Can't put the colour into it as I took the pic in Black and White on the camera, or at least I don't think it's possible to do so.

took this a couple weeks ago in black and white but just wondering what I could have done to improve it overall?

It's not a case of trapping managers, it is a case of covering my own arse. As you point out it is easy to talk yourself into unemployment. The biggest problem is i'm damned if i do and damned if I dont. If I were to be fit to return to work on perhaps monday, in a few weeks they would find...

wow, that's a fair achievement for me. In a funny sense I'm not sure whether to be chuffed to be top of the internet :shrug: or affronted :$ either way whatever is going to happen will happen now. I've been doing this since I was first suspended, digitally recording c/w time and date and...

I've drafted letter's as advised, and in consultation with ACAS. I tried to phone the office and spoke with the manager, caught him out lying about having spoken to wages dept, I called them and spoke to the only person there yesterday, and they confirmed that no-one had been on the phone to...

How do I go about submitting the grievance? and to who should I address it to? And as of this morning they've still not paid me monies owed in wages. The site is on holiday so it might be difficult to get hold of anyone, I'm going to try head office down in bedfordshire to see if that gives any...

I've a guy to call tomorrow who was/is a union rep and dealt mostly exclusively with the type of firm i work for. And I'll take it from there. I surmise they (co I work for) were hoping that as per the norm for employees I would roll over and accept whatever they said. I won't, if I'd been 100%...

Well the outcome was i got handed the previous meetings minutes...almost straight away, even better they said that they had a witness (produced no statement or corroboration of this) I was then told I would be recieving a first written warning. As yet they haven't confirmned what this written...

I've not got a copy of the minutes of the meeting, would it be unreasonable to request them and re-schedule the meeting? ACAS have already told me they MUST be willing to re-schedule once. Also would it be 'reasonable time' to have given me less than 24 hrs notice of this hearing?

Well today my wage arrived in the bank...NOT what I was told or entitled to...a couple hundred less, but it's irrelevant the sum involved. I called the site office to enquire about it only to be called back and aasked if i hadn't recieved their letter, Which I duly did once post was past. It...

well, as soon as they decide their course or rather they inform me of their course of action i'll be seeing a lawyer and taking it from there (re the defamation of character) They dont usually bother to much about proper proceedures, the attitude 'we'll do as we want, then throw some money at...

Oh and I got it all on digital dictaphone...timed dated, confirmation of who was at the meeting...very usefull to refer to at any possible tribunal's (obv through legalities it would be inadmissable but...it's 'my notes to refer to' :)

yes, I was in at work for an 'investigatory meeting' last tues so they could decide if it needed to go to a disciplinary or not. I recieved a copy of the statement that was made against me....and it does not list ANY mention that I cause/d any conflict or do not behave and act proffesionally at...

bit thoughtless on this kind of thing, not had anything like this before.....or hopefully again!

Well I've arranged a union rep to come in with me, from *** so all good there, just need to wait untill I get the letter. One thing that will stand me in good stead my bossess know me, and if somethings amiss or not right i've always been one to hold hands up and say, yep it's my fault. In this...
