Hi - I'm not an expert here but I think you should seek legal advice - or at the very least speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau.

I don't think a company can tell you they are looking to get rid of you for "gross misconduct" until you have had a full and fair disciplinary hearing. If they have "decided" before the disciplinary (which it sounds like from your posts) that they want to throw gross misconduct at you then I believe they are actually in breach of some law or other.

Please don't take my word for it as I really am not an expert, but I definitely think you chould check this out. The CAB should be able to help you.

Good luck.

I have 2 jobs at the moment, and never mentioned that i had ever worked for the company that fired me when they took me on. And it was never brought up or mentioned

System

I know 2 people who have done this, both of which are now employed at the same company.

they just left out the last employer. and i think when one was asked he said he'd been made redundant.

yer but its very hard to hide 22 years employment record at the same place.
