Hi, i am a part time worker at a petrol garage in Kent.
Recently the company i was employed with was sold and bought by a different company and a independant buyer who would run the shop and business.
I have worked for him for nearly 2 months, today i got called into work to attend a meeting - this was out of blue and unexpected i attended and was allowed to have my fiance present for the meeting he instantly told me that my contract was being terminated due to "poor work conduct". this is because i was using my mobile phone at work. he said this was unacceptable and instantly sacked me. I have had NO prior warnings or meetings regarding this behaviour or issue. I appreciate i should not have used my phone at work and whilst on the till but i feel it was not a sackable offense and with no prior warnings or meetings about this , it just doesnt feel right for him to be able to instantly sack me - he has given me a weeks notice and doesnt want me working it. we was taken over and protected by TUPE. i was however never given a contract from the original company but 2 staff members have told me that their was disaplinary procedure with our old company and one that was not followed by this guy, so our old terms and conditions that were supposed to stay the same - have been broken. please advise me what i can do. i have worked there for 7 months and in the 2 months i worked under the new company experienced great stress, anxiety and more frequent migraines. Please help!
