  • its a long one ...

    20th june 2025 patner was in an altercation with boss(owner of company ) and boss threatened him with a branch patner saw this as a threat and confronted him voices were raised and patner was sent home .... now this was all over a trench and my partner being told by other employees that boss was well pissed with him and something he had spoke to boss about before.

    this was on the friday and he heard from bosses wife on the sunday 22nd june inviting him to a disaplinary hearing on the wednesday 25th june and that it was being looked at as gross misconduct and outcome dismissal it also stated that i could ask employee or trade union rep to accompany me ... sent email back asking for a postponement til 1st july and with concerns that she is wife of boss and other person involved and that he didnt think she should have anything to do with it and stated that he had not been asked for his side of incident then he then found out that the boss and his wife had spoke to everyone on the site about what they saw or heard but he know there was no witnesses and that the employees had been told that they couldnt speak to him and to report to the boss if he tried to contact them......

    then received a email on tuesday from a external lead hr consultant stating that she was coming on board . acknowledging the postponement and she would be sending him an email inviting him to disaplinary hearing and that the process would be decided between herself and bosses wife 50/50 .. sent an email back again stating that he was concerned with regard to the bosses wife being involved . and asked which process they were going by and if it was an internal process could he be sent a copy ... also stated that he had not been spoken to or asked for a formal statement .. all this was ignored on 26th along with the invite to disaplinary hearing was his bosses statement which he denies any wrong doing and changing the words that he said to make them sound worse.....completely dismisses the threatening him with the branch completely .

    he sent his own statement in on the 29th june otherwise he would have gone into this disaplinary hearing without them seeing it .. in the hearing i brought up several counter aligations which were dismissed they centered it around if his anxiety which is brought on by stress and he has social anxiety and wether this was why he acted this way . also told her that he had proof that he was lying in his statement on several points ......my partner explained that he had messages about johns behaviour towards other employees but didnt want to show them as the other emmployees were young 18/19 been there less than 2 yrs and he didnt want to get them into trouble although he did say that if they allow him to show them with out the name he would but he wasnt asked they then asked him to go outside while they decided then they postponed till next morning then came a without predudice call .

    he was made an offer but it was laughable for 17yrs service clean record apart from a warning when he had unpaid time off for a breakdown .. we were given 24 hrs to get legal representation they then extended this to 48 hrs he sent email asking fir extentsion as he couldnt get an apointment till 7th july they extebded it but didnt send the settlememt agreement which he needs to engage a solicitor till 6/7 have they done anything wrong.............. side note no human resorces and small company

    Regardless of whether they have handled the process in a fair and reasonable manner they are now looking to try and reach a settlement with your partner by way of a settlement agreement.

    For this to be legally binding, independent legal advice needs to be taken from an employment solicitor. The employer will be required to pay a contribution towards the legal fees which is set out in the agreement.

    My response will be posted once your partner has taken legal advice if the appointment went ahead today. I will presume that they have advised on the way in which the situation was handled and the monetary compensation being offered in the settlement agreement. If the solicitor does not believe that this is adequate compensation for the fact that your partner will be giving up rights to bring a claim, if indeed there is one to bring, then it is up to them to negotiate with the employer on your partner’s behalf.


    I do not provide advice by PM although I may on occasion ask you to send me documents this way but any related advice will be provided back on your thread.

    I do my best to provide good practical advice, however I do so without liability.
    If you have any doubts then do please seek professional legal advice.
