Seriously though, if there was a dismissal, I'd be surprised if that was the given reason.CAVEAT LECTOR

Re: Unfair Dismissal
An employer can't just take someone's word and sack an employee on the basis that someone told them something which could well be totally untrue, made up by someone who holds a grudge against the employee in question. :nono:Originally posted by wales01man View Post
They would have to conduct their own investigation, gather evidence and draw their own conclusions.Comment

Re: Unfair Dismissal
The employer had a meeting in which the employee left in tears, the partner of the employee decided to let the employer know that he had caused the employee to have a breakdown. The employeer didnt take the calls so messages were left of a stupid nature, not threatening or anything then the employee was dismissed without any expanation.Comment

Re: Unfair Dismissal
Was any disciplinary procedure held before the dismissal?
How long was the employee working for the employer prior to dismissal?
What was said by the employer to the employee in the meeting that led to her breaking down - Was she verbally abused, shouted at in an aggressive or insulting manner?
