I'm sorry you didn't get a reply earlier but there wasn't much time to respond before the time of your meeting.

Would you care to update us on the meeting?

To be honest i think you would be better off out of their given the issues you have had with the store manager in other threads. Though if they expect you to travel sixty miles i would be asking them to pay towards your travel expenses, until they can find you a more suitable location closer to where you live!

Was this meeting a disciplinary or an investigation, maybe you have mentioned it but I can't see. You have no right to be accompanied to investigation meetings but you do to discplinary

hi thanks for replying it was called removal from site meeting. disgusting i haven't done anyfthing wrong the managers there arehorrible to there staff there completely over step what they can do he has got rid of at least 12 staff since august last year when he came..

Re: have been given 5 days then i have been given 5 days then i have to

If I am correct then , you do not actually work for the company who own the site, you work for a contractor is that correct?

If your employer says they will pay you until a new site is found from what I can see you have neither been disciplined or even investigated over anything you have just fallen foul of a personality clash.

If the assumptions I have made above are correct and they do keep paying you I do not think you have much you can legally complain about although I can understand your hurt feelings

yes you are right i cant believe people would do this to get somewhere higher up in life

YOu can certainly ask to see any evidence and especially as hes made the accusation to your employer (3rd party), meaning if the accusation is false you could sue for slander against the managers employers - But question is what did he accuse you off? Having others speak up for you would help in any legal proceedings too. But then even if you went down that route, whilst it would clear your name, it wouldn't change the fact you can no longer work at that site.

An investigatory meeting forms part of the formal disciplinary process, therefore, yes your entitled to be accompanied. But meeting in question wasn't disciplinary, though you can still be accompanied by a colleague or union rep.

If hes that bad then your best of out of there anyway, especially since hes tried causing you problems before, and would likely try and find another way to have got rid of you if he'd failed this time round!

You are correct, but then a lot depends on contract of employment, i.e if the site was named as place of work, they would need to change said term, which can only be done via notice of variation of terms, which most be agreed to by the OP. But it think in this case, the OP is best off agreeing to such and not working on that site with the manager in question given current and previous issues with said manager.
