Suspended from Work

Did you read my post a bit further up?

The only advice I give you when going into your appeal because I don't know your circumstances etc, is BE PREPARED. Even if you don't fully know how you stand on certain aspects legally etc, go in with a folder with highlighted information, dates of when things have happened, brief outlines of maybe relevant conversations. Highlight things and do references to end notes. Even if the content is not completely relevant, the fact that you are so prepared and have gone to this effort will play on their minds, as wel as asking 'if your prepared to put in that much effort for your appeal, are you prepared to take it to a tribunal'. I really don't know your circumstances or contract, but I know when I attended my appeals and meetings at work the fact I've been so prepared has really shocked them and I think it does play on their mind.

I think you should lodge an appeal and make a detailed list of every single thing they have done wrong. There is a great deal of information on line plus there is ACAS and the CAB. Does your houshold insurance cover legal expenses? Dismissal is still unfair, even within 12 months if the correct procedures are not followed. With all respect to Calvinandhobbs, the government websites are very clear about holiday pay. The amount of money here is small (to the firm) but the potential hassle is huge. A polite but firm approach may be the best way of extracting the required reference.

Actually, why don't you (as in the OP) print out the link from above and take it in, it might make them doubt themselves and make payment of holiday (must admit I had to think twice when I first looked at it )
