Work

[Clio5191]

I was working at xxx for over 2 years. As you could imagine they are busy stores.
i had to get a cover for a colleague who was ill at the time. So i sent txt msgs to few colleagues.
1 of them said he will think about it. But as the day was getting closer for the shift that needed covering i had sent numerous msgs to confirm. He eventually agteed but later that week he put grievence in that i bullied him to do it.
The manager called me in and said there is a grievence. You have 2 options. Either resign or get investigation. Which could lead to termimation. So i resigned with immediate affect. The following day manager saod stay away from xxx for 8 months. Meaning dont apply for a role. Its been 1.5 years now.
my 2 question are "could he still stop me from applying?"
can he bring investigation back of i am employed with xxx?" Please answer if you definitely know the answer. No guesses please.
thanks.

Hi CLIO5191

When a grievance is raised it has to be investigated swiftly, so 1.5 years later is ridiculous so that's not going to happen.

You resigned, there was no investigation, so there is nothing stopping you applying.

Hi Clio5191 and echat11

Indeed the investigation into the grievance would have ended when you resigned and even in the event you returned to work at the company and the employee concerned tried to raise a further grievance the event is now too far in the past.

You cannot be stopped from applying and your application will have to go through the same process as all other applications.
