    Quick Question

    Speaking to my boss is something I did months ago. Unfortunately he is one of those employers who doesn't pay any attention to issues of this nature. As long as the work gets done he is happy and he will just close his ears to anything else.

    Sensitive Topic, Need advice

    No. The whacker, who shall now go by the name of Wayne, will be the first. I have had to disturb my employers family holiday for this so that he can deal with it with a firm hand, and yes, I know that will just be taken out of context.

    Sensitive Topic, Need advice

    I feel the need to clarify something. I admit that on my earlier response I chose my words badly. I have NOT conducted a formal disciplinary. When spoken to about what had transpired I conducted an investigatory interview to determine whether there was any truth in what I had been told...

    Sensitive Topic, Need advice

    See, I know it wouldn't take much to figure it out. Even though it was a guy catching a guy I don't think sex discrimination is an issue. I have spoken to both parties and documented the disciplinary for his file. Not really the kind of thing I expected first thing Monday morning. I will...

    Sensitive Topic, Need advice

    I work for a small company where there are only 3 full time office staff. On Friday evening at around 5:45 one of my colleagues returned to the office to collect his keys and walked in on another colleague performing an indecent act at his desk. Nothing was said at the time but the incident...

    Taking leave

    As of next week I will be the only employee of the company I work for. Can my employer refuse to allow me time off (holiday) just because I am the only member of staff? It is only a small company and previously there were two but my employer has already said that considering the current...

    Here's a tricky one

    Thanks all. Yes it is le grande fromage, and I had better dust off the old kevlar undies just in case. You have reflected what it is that I had thought. Fingers crossed things don't go pear shaped on this one.

    Here's a tricky one

    Ok, here's one for you all that I need some advice or divine intervention with. If I am asked to falsify timesheet records to show that an individual or number of individuals are paid for a different number of hours that they have actually worked a) is this a criminal offence b) what rights...

    Concerns

    I recently resigned from my position and have been given a letter confirming the early release from my notice period, which shoul dhave been 3 months. My concern is because the replacement they had lined up to take over in just over a weeks time has withdrawn their acceptance, and that they...

    Advice required!!!!!!!

    Sadly thats kind of what I thought would be the case. I will have to approach them again and ask for an answer. They will owe me a couple of weeks leave and I could always become sick for a few weeks, that would reduce the period somewhat.

    Advice required!!!!!!!

    Thanks for the advice, all of which I have already brought to their attention. I have already written a handover document and full procedure and instructional manual for all aspects of the job. The leaving date I proposed actually gave them 6 weeks notice. I have even offered to make...
