    Company Director Access

    We have set up our own holding company, which we own all of the shares in. The previous owners have their own holding company. We are directors of the new holding company. We were told that the previous owners also had to be directors of this company (but they are not shareholders). We...

    Company Director Access

    Around 18 months myself and 2 colleagues were approached by the owners of the company we work for and asked if we wished to buy the company from the current owners. The deal was to be financed through deferred consideration, with the previous owners staying on as directors until the money was...

    Holiday Pay

    Hi guys, Just a quick question regarding holidays... I have just started a new job with a company, and whilst talking about time off, the manager commented that "time off isn't an issue, we're dead flexible. Technically you have to work here a year before you're entitled to holidays..." I...

    Can i be sacked?

    I had a bit of trouble with my employer at the back end of last year. He claimed gross misconduct, but basically he couldn't make it stick, he didnt follow procedure and he had to offer me my job back. As for wanting help from here, i found it mostly hostile as it is more employer based...

    Can i be sacked?

    The reason the government has had to implement all these rules is exactly because of arogant idiots like yourself. your attitude stinks! What goes around comes around! I hope others are as supportive for you, as you appear to be for them when you get in trouble!!

    Precedent setting in long term contracts

    Well, if you are 3 1/2 years into a 4 year contract meaning there isn't long left, and there is a new person in charge at the council, it would seem a good idea (if you are wanting the contract to be re-newed) to honour the written contract for its remainder, and re-negotiate at renewal to be...

    Unfairly Dismissed

    Thanks for all the comments. To respond to Bri, I'm sorry if my remark offended you some how. But, I am pleased I have my job back, and that we managed to sort the whole thing out between us. I know that getting rid of me would have had an impact initially on profits, as I was the most...

    Unfairly Dismissed

    Hi all, An update for those who are interested... I today met with my former employer, who has offered to re-instate me. I will be paid for all the time I have had off, and my final warning shall be retracted. He shook my hand, and told me we would start with a clean slate. As much as I...

    Unfairly Dismissed

    Well to address Bri's response to my thread; Firstly,I did not realise this was a mainly employer orientated forum, and judging by some of the threads i read before deciding to join and seek advice, i believed that i would get opinions from both sides, and possibly some advice that may help...

    Unfairly Dismissed

    well.. i would think it would be more than £400... will perhaps let you know. Unfortunately, pride doesn't pay bills... But my head will be held higher if i fight for my legal rights, rather than walk away from a job after 7 years with nothing. Employers are not above the law...
