No! I REALLY DID NOT BUY THEM!!!! :A
Are you proud of me? I've already transferred the cash into my PAD account ready to chuck it towards EGG!
Thanks mate x

Sorry about the diet - I'm the same. Have decided I'm going out running in the morning (haven't been out for WEEKS), then I'll get back on the "healthy eating plan" (well - I'm not eating biscuits diet). Tonight though, I'm knackered, so as I'm staying in - I'm having a cheeky glass of wine or 3 and a couple of treats!

Very proud!!

I'll just eat nothing but veggies (shudder) tomorrow to make up for it!

:hello: Hey Angelic!

I saw my name being whispered like a call to Zorro! :rotfl:

What a nightmare with non-payments I don't quite understand why your lovely OH was only paid 8 days Paternity leave? Normally, you have to take either one block week or two consecutive weeks within 56 days of the baby being born providing you meet the qualifying criteria.

There are some great websites about with lots of information out there. One in particular is www.direct.gov.uk and type in paternity rights. Some useful links there.

You can contact the HM Revenue and Customs Employees enquiry line on 0845 302 1479 for advice or even ACAS who offer impartial advice on 08457 47 47 47. They may be able to help out with the legalities on the overpayment too. This article on ACAS's website may be an interesting read especially if your OH works in retail: http://www.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=1488

By the sounds things, they've made such a bodge up, it may be wise your OH speaking to his Union rep or even looking at raising a formal grievance to get it resolved... Good luck

Hope that kind of helps? :rotfl: Just let me know if you need any more help. I'm full of useless carp :rotfl: Let us know how he gets on

That would have been me a-whispering for you [STRIKE]Zorro[/STRIKE] - I mean Danko!
Thanks for that brilliant advice - you're a star!!

Thanks Danko, the numbers are really helpful!

He was basically told that his days off count as paternity leave, I didn't think it worked like that?

A grievence would take forever as there's only one HR guy for 3 stores so they don't 'go over budget'!! (Tesco - worried about budgeting!!)

This has been going on for a couple of months now, if they're not careful I might get involved - I don't think they'd wantto see my temper! :eek:

Thank you! x

May be worth asking for a copy of the Company's policies and procedures as they should state in full things like paternity rights and the grievance procedure. You OH would have had to fill in a paternity form like this: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/forms/sc3.pdf and that would have been processed through the payroll and submitted to the Inland Revenue. HR would "normally" write back to the employee confirming the arrangements i.e. the paternity dates, any holidays, payments etc.

Like you, I'm confused why the days have been paid like they have. They're to be paid as weekly blocks - either one week and another week taken at a later date or two full weeks at once. Deffo worth giving the ACAS people a call though - they're open 'til 1pm on a Saturday too And it's free. Very correct advice Even I use them!

If you can get a copy of the grievance procedure, it should indicate a timescale for someone to respond - it's normally around 5 working days - sometimes more dependent on the Company. They have to do something about it so may be worth pursuing Unfair treatment etc...

Tell me about budgets though - I've been told I'm not getting a bonus when I leave because a) I'm leaving and have been for 12 months (though I've been working 45+ hour weeks, redundancies, implementing the HR department), b) the Company have been more than flexible with my school arrangements (though I've been taking holiday and flexi days to accommodate) and c) no money available (to which other people are receiving increases). Raah. Most angry.

Hope it all comes good though angelic Gather some facts too from ACAS as that would strengthen any case for a grievance. God, these are the things I try and get people to avoid at work!! :rotfl: Maybe people want to talk to me and we resolve these things :rotfl:

Thanks! We are going camping on Monday for 2 weeks - staying at a camp site (C&CC Club Site) just north of London, in Hertfordshire. Can't wait!

Off to bed very shortly - I am very very tired!
