replying to sambucus and steve........if you read my posts CORRECTLY rather than just skimming over them.....you will clearly see that A) just a few minutes before Mr A had a text asking him if the ex employees bike was still in the building!! Then he gets a text.....that wasnt meant to go to him saying "i will be down when Mr a has gone to do it" For the record the ex employee had been trying to get his belongings for weeks....he was always told not to come down as it was busy etc. He thought as it was a quiet night in work, he would come down and get it!!!

Hi all,
Happy New Year......well not for me :-( Hubby was sacked last monday,here is a brief outline of the goings on......does he have a case?

Sorry its long winded....hubby been there for 9 months!!

"MR A" is hubby lol

Over the new year,his workplace was broken into....he had had a text sent to him the night before by mistake,from an ex employee. Ex employee had meant to sent the text to another employee....it said "tell me when MR A has gone and Ill come down and do it,if anyone asks you were in the other building" So MR A is my hubby,he just presumed the text was about the ex employee coming down to collect his belongings that he had left there.

Hi there

SarEl is absolutely correct. It doesn't matter whether or not you think it's unfair - it's not unfair dismissal in law because he has no rights re unfair dismissal before 52 weeks of service. Boss sounds a pain in the backside, but this isn't worth pursuing; what would you claim for?

Walk away, nightmare boss, lesson learned. Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear.

Erm, nope. And since when do people 'do' bikes?

I agree that text was seriously damning and had I received it I would have been in touch with the police immediately.

You can't really blame the boss for being hacked of, your husband could have stopped it but didn't, he's been robbed and from your other post on the other forum he is struggling.

Anyway,next morning....place had been burgaled..Hubby told his boss and the police about the text.

He then worked as normal all day on the thurs and fri. He then had the weekend off....during the weekend he was told by other staff members that the boss was sure hubby was in on the burgalary,and so he wouldnt,on advice from the police he claims.. be paying any staff untill further notice (pay day was the 1st)

Hubby text boss saying you have to pay me etc etc,and also said he would pop down and see him on the sun.

So Hubby went down to see the boss and his partner....he was then told in no uncertain terms that "They believed he was fully aware the burgalary was going to take place" and he wont be paid.

Hubby got !!!!!!,as you would! And walked out,saying he would be in on Mon morning if required....Boss said yes.

Hubby went in on Monday morning,to be told he was sacked....reason given "he swore at his employers" However boss said he was sacking him because a)he doesnt trust him anymore because he didnt tell him he was going to be burgaled and due to my hubbys mental health problems (DEPRESSION ETC) he felt he may be in danger if hubby had a breakdown. (hubby has had depression etc for 15 years,boss WELL AWARE)

So,to be honest hubby was probaly going to walk out on the mon morn as he hadnt been happy for a long time,mainly due to the fact the out of the last 5 months......on 4 of them he was having a struggle to get his pay...it was 3 days late,4 days late and even 9 days late in Dec,coupled with the fact he was being accused of such an issue ...he didnt want to stay there!!

So, sacked on spot,a solicitors letter was then sent...which is full of mistakes and lies....it even states hubby had a text which stated he knew about the burgalary.....He has the text and so do the police...it never said that.

So does he have any type of claim......Discrimanation due to mental health??? Slander??? Unfair dismissal??? Constructive dismissal??? We know its hard due to only working there for 9 months,but we are also aware that this is not the case if basic rights are neglected or if discrimination due to illness!

He has also heard since from other people (small town)....including during an interview for a new job that he was involved in the burglary....is that slander??

Pleas any advice would be appreciated before we start coughing up for legal fees!

Thanks Mrs A xx
