Okay so finally on Monday I am going to be putting forward my case for unfair dismissal on the following grounds...
I was treated significantly differently to other employees - I caused a loss of £3000 and was dismissed compared to another manager who lost over £2000 breached H&S, endagered lives, falsified comany documents and was negligent in his duties. He was given a final written warning. He has since lost the business over £9000 and nothing has been done
I was on a written warning at the time of which the root cause was needing to perform two senior roles in my company. Nothing was done to change the root cause of that error which led too the second mistake. There was no material loss on the first error.
The manager mentioned in the first reason was never questioned at the second diciplinary investigation despite the relevant paperwork being hidden in his drawer and his signature on the paperwork to say the figures were correct.
I can also evidence that the relationship broke down between me and my senior manager and that he instigated the second disciplinary whilst the HR directors are denying that.
I have just recived a rather threatening email stating the following...
"Obviously you have not taken legal advice and given our expertise in these matters, we can assure you that your claim is not capable of succeeding. However, that will be for the Judge to explain on Monday."
There is also a whole drawn out section regarding my credibility and that if I am unsucessful they will seek to claim costs...
Is this just posturing and chest beating trying to get me to back down or could they have a point?
Any help/ advice would be appreciated as it has unnerved me slightly.
Thanks in advance
