What a load of crap.

Don't try a cut & paste job on me,I cut and paste nothing I clearly suggested a 'union official...with office environment experience.'And you get to pick your judge do you?

Rather than a union official with experience from elsewhere.

And I have seen many a time one sitting judge giving a litigant in person a hard time, often cutting them off mid-sentence, telling them to move on etc etc Yes - because what they are saying has been said or isn't relevant. Tribunals have no time to play around.

Yet at a full panel I have seen this behaviour stopped by the wing member/s who have stated they wish to hear what another doesn't want to.

If you have never seen this, having experienced hundreds of them, then I don't believe you.

Nice try, better luck next time.

Troll - but then we knew that. I don't put trolls on my ignore list - otherwise their crap advice to people may get heard by an OP who knows no better. The OP can decide whose advice is valuable.

You won't get much popcorn then. We know SS of old - I have had my say and the OP can decide what they want.

An employer has to prove that they have acted fairly when deciding to dismiss an employee under any of the 5 fair reasons for dismissal.

A Tribunal will evaluate whether the company has followed its on procedures and if not, why not.

You are entitled to a letter from your employer confirming the reasons for dismissal and when this dismissal takes effect.

You are entitled by law to an appeal hearing - have you been given this right? If not, write to your employer asking for an appeal hearing, for a Tribunal pre-hearing may enforce this before any full hearing can take place.

ive had the letter confirming why i was dismissed but theyve sent no supporting evidence of it despite many requests.

ive requested and had the appeal, the original decision was upheld as 'fair and reasonable'.

SarEl

The are not required in law tyo provide any evidence of the reasons stated to you. They only have to give you reasons. Whether those reasons hold up under the scrutiny of a tribunal is a different matter. But that is the tribunals concern to determine, and theirs to prove.

I've always arranged for ergonomic chairs to be moved if the employee reminds me. People have a resposnsibility to look after themselves.

However. Are you sure the policy was not followed? OccHealth is not automatic in law. What steps does the policy say MUST happen, and SHOULD happen, and which then happened?

its difficult to be specific as it could identify me and employer which could be very damaging .
occy health made various recommendations that they didnt follow.

their own attendance management procedures wernt followed either as i only had one meeting during my 2 month absence.

there is a lot of other stuff too, my statement of evidence for the tribunal now has over 50 bullet points of me arguing how unfair, unreasonable, biased, flawed and embarassing my dismissal was.

management were, quite simply, incompetent throughout the whole process. Im even going to argue that they have brought my employer into disrepute.

if you can't do specifics on a forum, you need to pay a lawyer for proper advice to help you prepare.

Are you saying that i should give specific information that would enable my employer to identify me and therefore may jeopardise my tribunal?

Emmzi

I'm saying you have a choice. But if you can only give half the info you'll get half an accurate answer, clearly! No one can read your mind.

So before you rush into things, go talk to a solicitor. If you can get a no win no fee company to take you on then you know you have a case. If you can't, you know it's risky.
