the company wanted more n more out of the shop i was running for them so last year they moved me 40 miles away to work in another shop what the working conditions were discusting ,photos to prove [outside shed/ toliet at the bottom of a garden with dog poo every were][sink in back of shop with a bucket under ]for two months while they put another person in my shop to see if the figures would increase,i did state that long periods of time of sitting it would put pressure on my back from on a train journey
&there reply was that i could stand??
well 2nd day of traveling & i was back at the doctors being signed off with my back for one month ,
2nd month off sick & i was told that with all my problems it would be best that my employmet was terminated due to ill health ,,so i argreed.
i was told that my service they would take into consideration , & that there could be a figure of £7,000
i was just glad to leave from all the stress ,so my employmet terminated they sent an amout into my bank towards the end of the month than on the 15th another payment ,

i suggest no can help with advise

Googlewhacker

take a breather, and try to write it again but so people can understand and then advise you hopefully correctly.

If you can't do that then call ACAS and see what their view is.

Why did you get a payoff if you were self employed. I dont understand

Emmzi

what paperwork did you get when you left - can you type it out for us?

I think you were ill health retired, and had a sum of £7k paid, which seems reasonable if your back meant you could not work?

Why are they saying you were overpaid?
