You still haven't told us why he decided he didn't have to go to work without calling anyone.0

It was down to a personal matter which I stated above. This was sorted on the Tuesday when he went back.0

It won't have helped that it was January 4th, the first working day of the year :-/
Still, though, highly dodgy actions from the company.£1 / 50p 2011 holiday flight + hotel expenses = £98.50/£600
HSBC 8% 12mth regular savings = £80 out of a maximum remaining allowance of £2500
"3 months' salary" reserve = £00 / £3600 :eek:0 -
ACAS have been go betweens my partner and the company but the company have now claimed he left and that they offered him his job back but to work from 8.30am till 5.30pm. ACAS have said because they offered my partner his job back that a tribunal wouldn't go very far but surely on the circumstances of being paid £300 for 59 hours work per week which is less than minimum wage is not a reason for him not to go to a tribunal?
He was receiving £300.78 (before tax) which is still under the minimum wage by about 20-30p. If he had gone back and worked 8-6 he would have been working for £5.08 an hour!
presumably with an hours unpaid lunch this makes it 40 hours if its a 5 day week which is then not under the NMWAlways ask ACAS0 -
My partner was never given lunch breaks at the company so it does fall under the NMW.0
-
yes but if its in the contract that he gets 1 hours lunch break it makes it more difficult, doesn't make a differance if he wasn't taking them really as the company could turn around and say the hour was there for him to takeAlways ask ACAS0

Acas will be the way to go , im not sure what type of company this is but they dont seem to have followed any sort of procedure for gross misconduct/dismissal, i would fight for it

Check your home insurance for legal cover, otherwise go and see a no win no fee employment specialist.
